At Avalon Malibu, we understand just how much grief can impact someone’s mental health and daily life. This is one of the reasons why we provide comprehensive mental health services for all Avalon Malibu clients: so that they can get the best care possible for their mental health. One of the things we recommend our clients do is journaling, as it can have a variety of mental health benefits. Let’s go over some of the top journal prompts for grief.
Best Journal Prompts for Grief Healing
Before we dive into the journal prompts, it’s incredibly important to note that everyone has their own unique healing journey. Everyone’s grief journey is unique, so remember to give yourself patience and be kind to yourself. Below are some of the journal prompts we recommend clients dealing with grief use to continue their healing and improve their mental health.
How Have You Changed Since Your Loss?
Reflecting on the ways that you’ve changed since your loss can be a good step in your healing journey. This is a good prompt to start with if you’re new to journaling or haven’t done much grief work yet.
Where Have You Found Support During Difficult Moments?
Making a list of the ways that you’ve found support can help you during future difficult moments. Take some time to reflect on the people or things that have brought you the most comfort. Consider sending a quick text to someone on your list and letting them know how much their support has meant to you.
Write About an Area in Which You’d Like Closure.
This prompt can be difficult to write, especially if you’re new to your grief. If you do feel ready to journal about this prompt, think about an area in which you’d like closure. Spend some time writing about what feelings that brings up for you.
