Grief Survivor: 30 Steps Toward Hope and Healing Näide

TO WRITE OR NOT WRITE?

As you begin the second fifteen days of this Grief Survivor plan, maybe you've been making notes in a notebook or journal.

No worry if you haven't been- not everybody loves to write!

Before you decide not to write, please think about this. Whatever you're feeling- sad? angry? confused? relieved? whatever... writing about it can help you get the emotions that are stuck in your heart out and onto paper.

And your journal is for your unfiltered thoughts, and your eyes only, if that's how you want it. Nothing will be graded, so grammar and spelling don't matter.

If the pages are stained with tears, that's OK; or if your words are bringing a smile or laughter- that's terrific, too.

If forgiveness needs to take place, writing is a powerful way to start the process. Or maybe you're feeling overwhelmed with thankfulness to have had your loved one in your life.

Reflect: Consider writing a couple sentences today about whatever is going on in your heart.
