As you work, remember to take time to look back at past entries to get a look at how things have changed or how you've grown. Journaling can be so helpful on the grief journey. 

Here are a few ways to use your journal:

*write a letter to your loved one

*describe the day or week's best and worst moments

*talk to yourself in a place of safety

*list problems you're facing and different ways you could handle each

*make some goals and write down small steps that can help you reach them

*write down things that helped, even a little, and refer to those when you need them

*make a list of people who can help if you are in crisis and add phone numbers

What kind of journal supplies speak to you? Something fancy from the bookstore? A plain spiral notebook? Some good pens? Keep them ready to use.
