Promptly Journals, My Grief Journal: A Healing Journey (Wheat, Linen) | Guided Journal for Grief | Grief and Loss Journal | Grief Journal for Mental Health

This journal really helped me navigate a very hard time in my life, and as a mom of a toddler I didn’t have hours on end to devote to my grief. This journal gave me dedicated purpose, and helped me to direct a lot of my grief into my favorite form of healing.

Such a beautiful addition for a miscarriage care kit ❤️ I also included a salt bath, tea, chocolate, and Blue Calcite

I bought this after suffering a late term miscarriage. It’s been helpful to let my feelings and thoughts out in a safe place. I can put ultrasound pictures and journal about my whole 20 weeks of pregnancy. A nice keepsake so my child is never forgotten.

I love Promptly Journals, first of all. I'm a huge fan of the simplicity behind their journals and was first introduced to them when my older sister got the Childhood History books to keep track of my 3 nephews' childhoods. She has one for each of them and loves them, so I was excited to see the "my healing journey" journal from them too!! As an empath and solo entrepreneur managing pre-existing anxiety & depression struggles, losing two loved ones in the past two years has really proven difficult for me to work through. I got this journal at a particularly low point, as I was managing the realities of a chronic illness diagnosis as well. The whole mission of Promptly Journals was really clear to me when I first saw the back of this journal: the back of the packaging reads: "Writing brings healing. Powerful research shows that writing not only heals us emotionally, but physically. As you move your pain, trauma, and grief onto paper, your heart will mend bit by bit. Write honestly, openly, and regularly, and you will find hope and peace. You will be whole again." These sentences really helped me to find a morsel of hope when I wasn't certain I could.And just as that text suggested, writing really did help me make sense of my story and my losses. I've been a journal-lover for over 10 years now, so I know writing always helps me! But the emptiness left by complicated grief makes it really hard to face a blank page. The prompts in this journal were the perfect guide to make journaling and writing accessible to me once again. I love how it's set up: a section for HEALING and a section for HOPE. It reminds you that your feelings are valid and gives you space to remember your loved one in detail. Promptly Journals has hit a home run with this one -- it's what I truly believe EVERYONE needs when going through a significant loss in life. It's so comforting to have a "home" for your truth, and Promptly Journals gave me a wonderful, gentle, incremental, and peaceful way to do this. So grateful!!!

The media could not be loaded. This is a great journaling system for someone who is going through fertility/infertility. This is one step of a healing tool and two see what works and what doesn’t work on what you have written down and a memorabilia for your child when they grow up and they can see if it was hard or easy for you to have babies. Nice quality pages, it has a lot of areas to write stuff down. That is very important. The out side of the book is very nice hardback. This is nice quality and a good value.

Anyone who has been through the TTC journey can tell you the toll it takes month by month, and how despite being in TTC groups, there are some things you just can’t verbalize because you haven’t even processed them yourself.This journal helps with just that - it helps you quietly contemplate how you feel, month-by-month. The assumption is that if you are continuing in this journal, you haven’t conceived. I pray for all women wanting a child to be granted happy & healthy babies.For those still struggling - this is a great way to work through your positive and negative emotions! Love this!!!!

I haven't started yet because I'm horrible at starting journaling... and continuing, but I really needed something to help me finalize my failed fertility journal as I make my way into the foster/adoption journey. This book does seem more focused on people who are starting out their journey but when I was starting out I didn't have something like this so maybe I can pretend for a year to help process all I've been through. Similar to trying to trying to talk to yourself as a child to deal with childhood traumas.I unfortunately had most of my fertility problems while living in the south where I was denied miscarriage care even after 3 weeks after my baby had died inside of me. Being denied care when I was hemorrhaging. And even being dismissed for my PCOS and endo as well as my allergies during a failed round of IVF leading to a severe reaction during one of the procedures. There's so much trauma living in women from their journeys even if you don't end up with children, it's nice to have a way to put it out there.To the author though, maybe allow for those questions like "what's your plan if you end up not having kids" "do you have a time limit for trying" "have you considered other options" "how do you feel about the quality of medical care for women"... I know that people in their journey don't want to focus on those possibilities but they exists and some people going through this journey will end up there. There is such a thing as toxic positivity, I was also never not "whole" so I can't be made "whole again", being sad doesn't make me not whole, it makes me sad. Maybe just say, "You have the strength to survive this whatever the outcome may be, you are a strong complete woman going through a journey that is hard."
