Losing someone you love is a heartache that words often can’t reach. Writing can become a powerful tool in grief, allowing you to say the things that might be too hard to say out loud. This journal is for you to write directly to the person you’ve lost, expressing your love, sorrow, and everything in between. These prompts will help guide you through memories, emotions, and the space where grief meets love.
There’s no right or wrong way to grieve, and no pressure to write the perfect thing. These prompts are simply a way to give your grief a voice. Speak to your loved one through the pages of this journal, and let your heart be free.
“Grief is love with nowhere to go. Writing gives it somewhere to land.”
