Grieving a lost childhood--whether due to trauma, neglect, emotional absence, premature responsibility, or other forms of unmet needs--is a deeply personal and often nonlinear journey. The Kübler-Ross model of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance) can be adapted to frame this process, though it may cycle, overlap, or revisit stages as healing unfolds. This worksheet offers a breakdown of how these stages might manifest when mourning a childhood that feels "lost".
