What do you reach for on the bad days of grief? It can take a really long time to navigate all the triggers, anniversaries and, well, just missing them Some of the things from your "old" life don't seem to fit in quite the same way anymore, so it's difficult to know which way to turn. Writing down what's helping you personally and also acknowledging what isn't can be really useful in being able to find your way forward and also to ask for help if you need to. On the awful days, when you just can't think straight, checking what you've written in your journal might just help you make a choice that brings a little calm. I'm sharing an example page from the self-care toolbox section of my guided grief journal to help. #griefjournal #griefjournaling #griefsupport #lovedonesinheaven

I love making these grief gifts to be special and meaningful to the person receiving them. Writing to a lost loved one can be so comforting. I think one of the hardest things can be when you go to call them to tell them something and then remember... Writing this down won't take away that pain, but it is an outlet and one to reach for on the hardest of days ❤️‍🩹 #griefgift #griefjournal #lovedonesinheaven #griefislove #creatorsearchinsights

This grief writing prompt will likely change each time you write in your grief journal ❤️‍🩹 Use your journal as a release to write down all the things you're missing. Capturing your grief journey through writing can help so much. Not only is it a great release, but also something to look back on in the future to see just how far you've come. #griefjourney #griefislove  #missyou  #griefjournal #writingprompts #creatorsearchinsights

Just taking a little minute to step back and breathe. It's been around about 6 months since my guided grief journal went properly into print. It's a rough grief anniversary for me this week, so taking the time to look through this today really warms my heart ❤️‍🩹 #griefjournaling #griefjournal #griefjournals #griefjourney

What has given you strength lately in grief? A person, an event, or perhaps a realisation that has taken root that brings you hope. #griefjournal #griefislove #strengthwithin #writingprompts
