Learn how to start a grief journal. See below from Sue Ryder.

Thinking of starting a grief journal?

Journaling can be a powerful way to cope with grief - giving you a private space to express emotions, make sense of your thoughts and keep precious memories safe.

A grief journal can be anything you need it to be: a place to write, draw, reflect, or talk to the person you’re missing. There are no rules, and no right or wrong way to do it.

It can bring clarity, reduce stress, support better sleep, help you notice change over time, and offer a safe outlet for emotions that feel overwhelming to say out loud.

Take a look at our grief journal article to find out more about how to start, prompt suggestions and tips.

As part of our Grief Guide, we’ve created a free online journal you can start using today - a private place that’s always there when you need it.

Cruse offer wonderful support all year but needed especially now ❤️

It's not the most wonderful time of the year for everyone.

In fact, we know it can sometimes feel like the opposite. The festivities can bring back memories, evoke powerful emotions and be a painful time.

This is why it's good to come along and talk. Next meet up is January.

Taboos and awkwardness around talking about death and dying can prevent people from being supportive to grieving friends and family. Our short animated film 'Room for an elephant' has been created to help support bereaved young people after someone important to them has died.
