Grief is often associated with death. We picture funerals, tearful goodbyes, and the aching absence left in the wake of someone we loved. But for millions living with chronic illness, grief is something different—more insidious, more silent, and often misunderstood. It’s not a one-time event. It’s a recurring companion, showing up in doctor’s offices, on birthdays, and during quiet moments of remembering who you used to be.

I never really understood the full weight of grief until it settled into my own life like an unexpected storm. I’d always thought of it as something purely emotional—heartache, sadness, tears and longing. But what no one told me, what I had to learn firsthand, is that grief isn’t just emotional. It’s physical. It’s cognitive. It seeps into every part of you, often in ways you don’t see coming.

Journaling has been an incredibly powerful tool for me, and I want to share it with others. I have created a Free 100-page Grief Journal filled with guided prompts to help you navigate your emotions, memories, and healing. This journal is my gift to anyone seeking a different experience with their grief. I designed it to provide comfort and clarity during challenging times.
