204: Journaling Your Grief

204: Journaling Your Grief

Before we dive into today’s episode, I just want to share some important things going on inside Grieving Moms Haven.

Here are a few things:

  • In the month of March, I’m creating a new course and experience inside Grieving Moms Haven where I’m going to walk the moms inside through journaling, writing exercises, and making an intentional practice of journaling throughout the month of March. 

  • Grieving Moms Haven is opening today through the end of February, and if you want to join us for this live Journaling Your Grief course, go to www.grievingmomshaven.com to join us inside.

  • I am getting trained in a method called Rapid Resolution Therapy. I am so excited about this training because I believe I will be able to help you on such a deeper level.

So, let’s dive into today’s episode.

In this episode, I am going to share with you some thoughts about journaling.

Here are the things I talked about: 

  • My thoughts when people ask me, “what do you write about?”

  • How writing helps you bring the unconscious to the conscious thinking.

  • How huge a thing with writing, is when you keep your writing, you can go back through and see how much things have changed for you. Maybe even noticing how much suffering you’ve had in the past and how far you’ve come. 

  • The 4 weeks of going through different practices of writing, as part of the Journaling Your Grief.

  • In the first week, we will go through honoring and remembering your child.

  • In the second week, we will be focusing on what is true for you right now.

  • In the third week, we will be focusing on rewriting your story.

  • And the fourth week, we will rewrite your story again with some compassion and love.

And I believe you deserve this. You’ve been in pain for far too long, it’s time to begin writing your story and thinking about your story differently.

Are you ready to stop cycling in the pain and anguish of grief? What if you could get a moment of calm and respite? After your child dies, everything feels hopeless and dark, and it’s hard to even think straight. Staying in survival mode keeps the cycle going.
