Journal prompts to assist you through grief of pet loss

Keeping a journal has therapeutic value as it provides you with a way to explore your feelings, emotions, and memories in one place. They say that time heals pain, but only if you work with that pain. There are no right and wrong ways to journal. Simply write from your heart. Being in touch with your feelings is a sign of courage. Engaging with our feelings and thoughts gives us strength, and understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

Regular writing is the best gift we can possibly give ourselves when grieving. Keep it private. We don’t even have to read it at first. The purpose is to stop our mind chatter, get out of our heads, through our hearts, and on to paper. Then begin to clarify our thoughts and express our pent-up emotions. This process brings movement. It allows air into or bodies. We begin to breathe easier. It helps us listen to our hearts.

Before you start, remember these little things:

Don’t stall, just keep writing.

Don’t edit what you write.

Write freely and from the heart, not the head.
