ForeverJULY IS BEREAVED PARENTS [awareness] MONTH.Approximately 73,000 children under the age of 18 die each year in the US which makes hundreds of thousands of grieving parents. However, in volume 8 of this collection, we are going to be honoring the grandparents who have experienced the loss of a grandchild. Grandparents, "the forgotten grievers" coined the term because although they are doubly grieved by the ache for their grandchild and pain of their own child are often overlooked along with the support needed. Usually, this exclusion is not intentional-grandparents are simply overlooked in all the turmoil. Please be mindful of grieving grandparents and offer support wherever you can. So what is a grief journal? A grief journal records the experience of grief, which has therapeutic qualities. The journal provides a venue for expression without fear of judgment, which also helps reconstruct the personal self narrative, which is critical in the healing process. Some people say that writing through their grief was the only way they were able to cope after their child had died. Writing daily for approx. 15-20min. is all it takes to begin the healing process.Whether you or someone you know has recently lost a child, or it was a while ago- the benefits of writing through the grief remain the same.
