Every one loves a ​invite and

so does God!

Invites can be seen as gestures of connection and creates a ​sense of exclusivity and importance. So, you are cordially ​invited to join me in this journey of grief discovery through ​writing letters, praying, and inviting God into your grief.

It’s not an easy process trying to understand your grief ​while still managing your day-to-day life. This journal will ​guide you to express your thoughts, emotions and confront ​hard-facing stages of grief.

I am here to remind you that even through you are grieving, ​you are blessed and comforted by God. Psalm: 73:26 ​Everything you have experienced in your grief journey has ​shaped and molded you into the beautiful person you are. ​You have the right to honor and embrace that starting ​today. I wish you well and I hope this journal brings you ​peace.

It is important to remember to give yourself grace and to let go ​of each journal topic with love. When we let go with love, it ​allows our pain to turn into power and creates space in our ​hearts to heal.

• Date: Start each entry with the date, allowing you to track ​your timing of your thougths.

• Title or Heading: Each title entry is chosen as the main focus ​or stage of grief. Along with a heart to heart message from ​me.

• Supporting Journal Ideas: These are journal prompts to help ​you get started if you are feeling stuck.

• After Journaling Section: This section of the guide will give ​you comfort and encourgment to keep moving forward in ​your grief journey with prayer and scripture. You can check in ​with yourself after you have completed your time journaling ​with the Mood or Emotion Tracker: You can use a scale (e.g., ​1-5) or descriptive terms (e.g., happy, sad, excited) to capture ​how you're feeling.

Warning: Some topics can bring up some heavy and deep ​emotions. It is perfectly fine to either take some time to sit and ​be present or move and come back to complete the journal.

Anger

Anger is a defense mechanism that helps us feel we ​are in control in this uncomfortable journey of grief. ​Discovering where your anger is being directed can ​give clarity and guide you in right the step to ​releasing negative befits and personal expectations.

Grief can make you feel isolated. The thought of no ​one understands how you feel because this pain is ​so deep it touches the soul is common. Learning ​what to do with this pain is the key. Depression has ​the words “press on”, and you are doing just that!
