Grief Journal for the Loss of a Dad

Some grief does not need advice. It needs somewhere to go. This journal is a quiet place to write to your dad, to keep his stories while they are still close, and to get through the days that are still hard - at whatever pace is yours. There is no order to these pages and no schedule to keep. Begin wherever you need to. It is written for anyone grieving a dad, including a stepdad or a father figure.

WHAT'S INSIDE (97 pages, fillable + printable PDF, US Letter):

• Letters to Dad - 9 letter pages, each with its own gentle prompt and a second writing page: the news I want to tell you, what I wish I could ask you, thank you for, I am sorry for, today was hard because, what I never got to say, forgiveness, and a letter for no reason at all
• Remembering Him - his stories and the ones everyone tells about him, his sayings and advice in his own words, his work and what he built or fixed, his cooking and grilling with six recipe cards from his table, lessons he taught you, his hands and his laugh, his workshop and his voice, his favorites, who he was, a page for when the relationship was complicated, and 8 photo memory pages with caption space
• The Hard Days - a page for grief as it feels right now, the first Father's Day without him, his birthday, a page for your own birthday without him, the anniversary, the holidays, a log for the moments that catch you off guard, what helped even a little, two steadying pages for the hardest moments, and a gentle support page
• Continuing Bonds - signs and small moments, 4 dream journal pages, talking to him still, his advice in his voice, what you do because of him, and his legacy in you
• Looking Back, Gently Forward - a short check-in page for every month of the first year, a letter to future you, and a closing page
