Have you heard of journaling recommended for dealing with painful emotions?
Have you started a journal only to find it again weeks or months later with mostly blank pages?
Have you struggled with what to write in a journal?
The Inscribed Grief Journaling Group provides a safe and supportive environment for sharing thoughts and feelings related to grief. Together we will process the conflicting, and often confusing, emotions of grief through writing.
The group offers a sense of community and connection with others who are also experiencing grief. We will have a regular place online to meet to express and reflect on grief and the healing of our hearts. It will be a safe space to remember and honor our loved ones who have passed away.
Structure of the Group
Twice a month we will meet for a live Zoom meeting with a topic of the day led by your Grief Recovery Coach, Debbra Bronstad. We will also have a private Facebook Group to share journaling, reflections and community in between live sessions. Video replays will be available for group members if you miss the live session and want to watch later. Participating live is highly recommended to benefit from the interaction of group members.
Debbra will supply a journaling prompt for a brief time of writing during the live group meetings.
Optional homework from the 52-Week Devotional Journal for Grief will be offered. If you complete the homework, you’ll have an opportunity to share from your reflections in the next session.
