23 Journal Prompts To Help You Say Goodbye To A Loved One
Keep in mind that everyone grieves in different ways, and for some, it is more of a lifelong journey rather than a process you "get through." Be gentle with yourself and others, and if these prompts help you, they have served their purpose. Use what works for you and share what you feel may work for someone else. Wherever you are in your journey, allow yourself to sit with discomfort when needed and feel the joy of life. Life is always filled with both joy and sorrow. Both fuel and replenish one another.
It is always a good practice to ground yourself before journaling, but you may find that it helps center you anyway.
