Try this 'fill in' exercise as one of the first steps to journaling your feelings after the death of your child. Sit in a quiet place with no distractions so you can bring you child to the front of your mind to answer these phrases, taking as long as you want and writing as much as you'd like. If you feel one doesn't apply to you, skip it. This exercise will give you much to think about, and perhaps start you on the road to journaling. As time moves on, it is interesting to look back and see your reactions at that specific time in your life.
Dear
I miss you because
It's been hard to let go of the pain because
I still feel guilty about
The most joyful time we ever had was
I wish I had told you
I sometimes feel angry that
I continue to feel sad because
On thing that has changed since your death is
What I have learned about loss and grief are
The way I will remember you is
The song that reminds me of our relationship is
The best time we ever had together is
One thing I'd like to tell you if I could talk to you for one more minute is
The last thing I remember is
I want to know
With love,
