How Do You Resolve Grief? Do You Write In a Journal?

June 26, 2018 By Daniel Davis, LMFT 1 Comment

Writing is a great opportunity to privately express myself. I can journal words not another living soul reads.

There is great freedom in this practice. My language forms a bridge from ideas swimming around in my head to concrete language on paper.   I like to use a pen and paper when writing.

Yet, sometimes if I am at the beach, I will use my iPhone to capture ideas in my notes section.  Whatever form the writing takes helps me.  When I write I am able to integrate the ideas that I write with the emotions I am experiencing about the subject.

Letter writing may be a lost art for many.  I remember learning to write letters in school as a child.  Now I text and write emails.  I cannot remember the last time I sent someone a letter for personal reasons.  I do send a birthday card occasionally.

Yet, a letter provides me with an opportunity to express important words that help me heal.
