Give The Gift Of Journaling
When you are grieving many people will be around trying to help you through this difficult time. They will offer their support. But how can you tell people what you need, if you are not sure even yourself how you are feeling? You may be feeling an array of emotions that even to you don’t seem normal. You may want to talk to someone but are not sure if they would understand. This is where it might be good to begin journaling.
Journaling does not have to be just about the days events. It is also a time for you to reflect. In your journal you can makes lists, write letters or say whatever is on your mind. You can be open in your journal, you can write whatever comes to your mind. It does not need to make sense. One of the freeing things about a journal is being able to get all the emotions that are jumbled up inside, out and on paper. It’s amazing when you just start writing words, feelings, sentences, observations, out on paper how your mind begins to open. Your thoughts begin to have space. Journaling for days or weeks can help put your personal feelings into perspective. You can look back over the days and see the thread that runs through them, the pattern of your thoughts. When you can see that, you can begin to find ways to heal.
Another way of journaling is to write letters to the deceased. You know they will never read them, but it is a healing way to say good bye. Many times people write a long letter to their loved one who has passed on and then burn it in the fire place as a symbol of closure, imagining their message being carried away by the smoke. This process can be very healing especially if you did not have the ability to say good bye to them in person.
Journaling many times will help you to get your feelings out, and seeing them visually can help you to organize those thoughts. Writing memories of your loved one will make sure you will always remember them. When you think of something, or hear someone else tell something you want to remember write it down in your journal. It will be a treasured keepsake for years to come and a place you can go when you are feeling sad that they are gone. If you are sending a sympathy gift, choose one with a journal included. This way you can make sure the bereaved can start on a path of healing through journaling.
