Oh yes! Part of dealing with grief is telling our stories over and over again, and examining them from all sorts of angles. Family, friends, and co-workers often get weary of listening to us after a while. Hence, support groups, in real time or online, where you can continue to examine and sort your feelings are wonderful places. For me, the best release of all is writing - writing in a journal, writing letters to my young granddaughters to give to them when they are a tad bit older and want to recall their daddy and learn more about him.

Researching and writing technical articles keeps me busy as well as procedure manuals. I explored and learned all I could about the diseases my son was afflicted with and wrote articles on that. I am currently maintaining a grief support blog.

I wish I was a fictional writer, but that really isn't my forte'.

I know that writing isn't everyone's interest, but what a wonderful release it is for those of it who enjoy writing anyway!

Write about any and everything at first as your heart moves you, my dear. Try journaling. Try some haiku and other forms of poetry. Or some short stories. Keep notes on ideas that come to mind. Frequently while you are writing you will really get "cooking" with ideas.

I also want to express my sympathy to you for your losses.

I am right there with you. Only 10 days new, and i felt confused as to what i wanted. for me it got a little difficult, but i am getting the jest & finding it is no different than in person, some are the soft place to fall...others not so much. trust the process, hang in. and it u need a newbees support - i am here PJ

I started a journal after I lost my daddy, I call it My Daddy Journal, I write in it every day. It has helped me more than anything.

Oh my yes! I have found writing helps in every facet of my life . It enables me say things in writing I am unable to express in words
( or wouldnt dare say out loud) and it releases me of pent up emotions and memories. I too started a ( book)I guess you can call it that it has a begining and many chapters but no end yet. I began writing it years ago and I pull it out from time to time an add more chapters to it. If for no other reason it will make for some real shockingly honest true life stories to read for those who find it after Im gone and boy will they really now who I was and what my life was all about hehehe
