As every snowflake is unique, similarly every grief journey is unique to you with respect to the relationship you had with the deceased. How has your life changed in light of the loss? What changes have you had to make to make up for your loss? Season of adjustment is the precursor to your new life. You learn to live with your loss as you reinvest your energy in persons, ideas and new things. Reconciliation of grief means coming to the place where    you can accept your life as  meaningful, even in the light of your loss.

Journaling has long been considered a deeply transformative and meditative tool. The process of writing in journal allows an individual to reflect on the key areas they are working on. In this case, the primary focus is on healing your grief and life disappointments. For many of you, this process will allow your emotions to ripple to the surface rather than suppress them. It is a time to reflect and look inward at the workings of the your emotional heart and acknowledge the vast collection of thoughts in your mind.
