Recently I wrote a series of articles on the work of grief. https://www.b17.ru/article/507623/?prt=92671https://www.b17.ru/article/508171/? prt=92671https://www.b17.ru/article/510328/?prt=92671There was only one left, the last one, in which I was going to talk about another self-help technique, about the “Journal of a Journey Through Grief” But somehow I put it off. Other topics have come up. Today, in the days of mourning, I feel the time has come to write about grief. I offer my condolences to those affected by the tragedy at Crocus City Hall. This article is not for those who are now in shock. It will come later Grief is work. The word "work" best describes what you have to endure. Grieving is incredibly hard work. But it cannot be left for later. To recover, you need supports under your feet. One of these supports could be the “Journal of Journey through Grief.” Fill out in the evening, after dinner, but not right before bed. The journal columns may seem simple. And the grieving person will be able to appreciate the help of his painstaking notes only after time. No one sees the foundation. But without it you can’t build a house. Let the journal become a possible foundation. What important happened today, a person writes. • Who I met today. • What changes do I observe in myself. • Plan for tomorrow. • Notes. I repeat. Changes that mean progress, happen gradually. Day after day, it may seem that the grief does not let go. At some point you will think that nothing is changing. Then you need to take the journal and re-read the entries from the very beginning. The changes will be noticeable, believe me. The journal helps to maintain presence of mind .•Writing down events that happen will give them significance.•Thinking about people who are important, a person experiences much less loneliness.•Writing down plans for the next day gives actions and behavior the right direction.The evening is a convenient time for summing up.Evenings are especially difficult for many in grief. By focusing on your grief, you resist it! I’ll give you another hint. After filling out the journal, it is better to do something soothing. Teas, a bath, candles. You need to take care of yourself so that nothing happens. Don’t forget, grief is not experienced alone. Go with him among the people.
