Co-created by Amanda Meeks and Shayna Norwood this journal is designed to provide structure to navigate your day to day while grieving. Wherever you are in your grief journey, we hope this journal makes space for youto explore your grief through creativity, reflection, and helps you move forward at your own pace. It’s a special gift to collaborate with a dear friend on somethingas personal and sacred as a grief journal. In grief support spaces,we are encouraged to treat ourselves with the same kindness andcompassion we would a friend. Here is our take on what a friendmight oer another grieving friend who has experienced loss.We’ve designed the following pages for you to fill with your ownexperiences, feelings, and creations in hopes of meeting youwhere you are. As you move through our self-care suggestions, please remember to notice the joy in each one, even if it is small. There may be days where simply feeling the joy of breathing is all that is possible and that’s okay. Laughing or other joyous moments will come when you’re ready for them. There is no rush. Please be gentle with yourself and remember: You already have all of the tools you need within you, we’re here to remind you of that.
With Love,

Amanda & Shayn
