“Writing is a way not only to metabolize life but to alchemize it as well. It is a way to transform what happens to us into our own experience. It is a way to move from passive to active. We may still be the victims of circumstance, but by our understanding those circumstances we place events within the ongoing context of our own life, that is the life we ‘own.’" – Julia Cameron
After you go through a painful or dramatic change in your life – the death of a loved one, a foreclosure on a house, a battle with an ongoing health problem – you experience grief and all of the complicated emotions that it brings with it. Grief manifests itself differently for each person and each situation, and you may find yourself jumping from sadness to anger to frustration to despair in a short period of time.
It is challenging to cope with all of the intense feelings that go along with mourning, and you may struggle with discussing them with even your closest friends and family members. Journal writing allows you to start putting your emotions into words in a safe, comfortable and entirely personal way.
Create Write Now's new journaling workbook, Journaling Through Your Grief: 7 Days to Heart Healing Happiness, is designed to guide you through this process in each of the seven chapters. Every chapter focuses on a different aspect of grief and helps you explore your thoughts through journal writing exercises.
In this workbook, you will:
• Work to understand your own grieving process and accept that there is no “right” way to feel
• Write about the personal or sensitive topics you might not want to talk about with others
• Explore the relationship you have with your core values and beliefs
• Use art journaling for creative expression
• Create personalized techniques and tools to cope with loss and move toward healing
• Build a support system to strengthen your health and well-being
