Journaling: Grief Through the Holidays

Our first event went well with ten in attendance on a cold and rainy Monday evening. We are looking forward to the December event when we work through how to best grieve through the holidays.  We will have a speaker,  hot soup, and Greta will be back to sing again.  She blessed us all with her Lauren Daigle song and  “Here Comes the Sun” by the Beatles.

If you can’t make it to the meetings but want to journal where you are, I want to remind you that there is research to support the benefits of journaling.  Writing seems to have a bigger effect than typing on a keyboard, and some research suggests men reap more benefits than women (maybe because they bottle up their feelings…)  I found this interesting.

My next post will include journal prompts that might help.
