Solace Through Writing Michele DeRosa

When we lose someone we love, there are no magical words to guarantee comfort; however, many have found that writing their thoughts help to acknowledge their emotions, finding solace through thoughtful reflection. Keeping a journal through this journey also offers a way to honor the one we have loved. Solace Through Writing is a journal designed to help you frame your thoughts. Some days you may write only one word-on other days you may be ready to tell a story, recall specific memories, or speak directly of your sorrow. To help you when you can't always think of something to write, prompts have been provided that may help you begin to make sense of your loss or focus on a specific topic. You need not follow these prompts, but consider them as nudges from your heart.
