Grief Journal

(loss, memory, healing)

Offering you a safe place to hold your feelings of loss.

Writing can help you process emotions that may feel too heavy to say out loud—whether that’s sadness, anger, confusion, or even small moments of gratitude. Some people find comfort in writing letters to the person they’ve lost, saying what they wish they could still share.

Others use the journal to capture memories, express difficult feelings, or simply notice how grief shifts over time. However you use it, a grief journal offers space to honour your loss while also supporting healing and reflection.

Journaling Prompts:

  • Write a letter to someone or something you miss—what would you like to tell them today?

  • Think of a happy memory—what makes it feel special to you?

  • How do you feel when you think about your loss? Try to put it into words or a drawing.

  • Write about a time someone or something made you feel comforted.

  • What do you miss the most, and why?

  • Notice something small today that makes you smile or feel grateful.

  • How has this loss changed you? Have you found any new strengths?

  • Are there any questions you wish you could ask? Write them down.

  • Describe a special object, place, or routine that makes you feel close to your memory.

  • Pick one strong feeling you’re having right now—let yourself write or draw it.

  • How has your sadness or missing someone changed over time?

  • Write a kind message to yourself—something gentle or encouraging.
