When grief threatens to overwhelm your workday, suppressive efforts often backfire into sudden emotional collapses. In the Dual Process Model of Coping (Stroebe & Schut, 1999), healthy grieving involves dosing—allowing oneself to step into the sorrow for a brief, intentional window rather than letting it flood the entire day unchecked. Supported by Annette Stanton’s Emotional Approach Coping research (2000), the Five-Minute Grief Break Tool provides a compassionate five-minute container to weep, remember, and honor your loss fully before gently closing the door to resume daily tasks.
