A check on continuing bonds: keeping a living link without waiting for grief to be finished.
About this test
Worden's tasks of mourning and the continuing-bonds work of Klass, Silverman, and Nickman treat grief as something you carry and reorganize, not as a problem you solve by finishing sadness. These items score whether you allowed a wave, kept a bond without freezing the future, and skipped the advice that grief has one correct timetable. The percent is a skill score.
