1 Step 1: Engage

The first step of MI is to establish rapport and trust with your client and create a safe and respectful space for them to share their feelings and experiences. You can use open-ended questions, affirmations, reflections, and summaries (OARS) to show genuine interest, empathy, and understanding. You can also acknowledge the difficulty and uniqueness of grief and avoid making assumptions or judgments about how your client should grieve.

Affirmations can help clients get reminded of their strengths, their motivation and progress they have made so far and Deep/Amplified reflections are great ways to help clients feel heard and help them ventilate and share more. It is important for clients to know that what they are feeling is normal and it would be helpful to introduce the kubler ross stages of grief.

I love open ended questions. They put the employee in a space where he/she to speak their mind. And this is very important. Because inside those answers that they'll give, is the answer to most of their problems/challenges. They just needed to say it out loud.

In my experience during this phase of relationship building is good time to share an overview of the grieving process, explaining grieving is not a linear process and it is a normal to move back and forward though the phases at any point during the grieving process. This can help your client understand that if this happens to them they are not stuck, and this is part of the grieving process and it will pass. However if they’re experiencing be in this phase for a prolonged period of time, they may benefit from speaking with a mental health specialist.

Connection is key in grief work, primarily because we are a grief-illiterate society that can place judgment on how someone should grieve. Taking the time to listen and acknowledge the pain is foundational to building a therapeutic connection.

2 Step 2: Focus

The second step of MI is to help your client identify and clarify their goals and priorities for coping with grief. You can use agenda setting, scaling questions, or decisional balance exercises to explore what is important and meaningful for your client and what they want to achieve or change. You can also help your client recognize their strengths and resources and how they can use them to overcome challenges and barriers.

I agree, focusing can help your client gain insight to identify their challenges,get clarity on obstacles involved, and develop a different prospective on how to move forward. This happens by assisting your client with exploring their internal and external environments and creating new strategies to overcome and make use of possible barriers.

When a significant loss occurs, you typically have a primary loss followed by many secondary losses that occur over a period of time. Setting realistic goals, the minor goals in early grief (drinking water, taking a shower, etc.), can guide one through the changes and build self-compassion as one navigates the intense emotions.

3 Step 3: Evoke

The third step of MI is to elicit and strengthen your client's intrinsic motivation and confidence for coping with grief. You can use evocative questions, change talk, or readiness rulers to draw out your client's reasons, values, and desires for coping and healing. You can also use reflective listening, affirmations, or elaborations to reinforce and amplify your client's expressions of hope, commitment, and action.

Grief changes us in many ways; this step allows the person to control the change. It is important to spend time changing the "what ifs" to "even ifs" and remember that some things are out of our control. We would rather feel guilty than helpless, but guilt is lonely and keeps us stuck in unhealthy patterns and mindsets. Helping change perception can allow us to cope with the new life we embark on after a grief event.

4 Step 4: Plan

The fourth step of MI is to collaborate with your client on developing and implementing a realistic and feasible plan for coping with grief. You can use SMART goals, action steps, or problem-solving strategies to help your client specify what they want to do, how they will do it, when they will do it, and how they will measure their progress and success. You can also use feedback, support, or contingency plans to help your client anticipate and address potential difficulties and setbacks.

5 Step 5: Monitor

The fifth step of MI is to review and evaluate your client's progress and outcomes in coping with grief. You can use follow-up questions, self-monitoring tools, or outcome measures to help your client assess how they are doing, what they have learned, and what they have achieved. You can also use affirmations, reflections, or celebrations to acknowledge and appreciate your client's efforts and accomplishments.

6 Step 6: Transition

The sixth step of MI is to prepare and support your client for the end of your professional relationship and the continuation of their coping and healing journey. You can use closure questions, summaries, or feedback to help your client reflect on their experience, consolidate their learning, and identify their next steps. You can also use affirmations, referrals, or follow-ups to express your gratitude, confidence, and support for your client's future.
