The Grieving Heart Journal: A Collection of Poetry and Prose

by Deb Rosman, Kathryn Nicholson (Editor)

Overview

This book is dedicated to anyone who has ever experienced grief, so basically it is dedicated to everyone. By allowing yourself time to grieve properly you can then become free to move on and embrace all that is life. I found that journaling was very cathartic and helped me along my personal processes. I’m including pages for you to record thoughts and feelings with each piece as well as additional journal pages in the back. It can be therapeutic to write down emotions that overwhelm and in doing so allow the healing. May you find comfort and know that you are not alone in this process.

About the Author

I am a writer, a seeker of joy and a change agent I can only speak from my own experiences and observations in life. This book, The Grieving Heart, was written because it is critical to grieve. It is my firm belief that, only after you have grieved completely, can you turn around and embrace life fully again. Change is the only constant in life so accepting that truth sets you free to live. My life has been rich and full of love. I am blessed, but like everyone else, I have known loss and will continue to do so. Within a ten-year period, I lost my father, a sister and a close family friend followed by my beloved mother; and for what it's worth, my condo from fire. During that decade, I began writing to help understand my losses as well as the losses of others' around me. When first my father died, I wore my grief for him like a badge honor. I felt that if I wasn't in anguish each day, I was somehow dishonoring his memory. One day, out of nowhere, I realized that my father would not want this despair for his daughter; and so, I began to honor his memory in other ways. It is my sincere hope that one of pieces in this book will resonate within you, Dear Reader, and help you on your journey to peace. Understand that it is critical to grieve when you experience loss so that you can fully embrace life again. https://debrosman.com/
