Letters to the One I Lost — A Journaling Companion

Letters to the One I Lost

A guided journaling companion for the things you didn't get to say.

There were things you wanted to say. Things you forgot to say. Things you said badly. Things you said beautifully but want to say again. There were ordinary days you wish you could tell them about — the dog learned a new trick, your daughter got into the school, the song you both loved came on the radio at the grocery store.

Writing letters to someone who has died is not pretending they are still here. It is a way of letting the relationship continue to mean something while it changes shape. This journal offers 30 gentle prompts to help you start. You can write one letter. You can write fifty. You can do it for a week and stop. The pages are yours.

What's inside

1. How to begin — Where to write, when, and what to do if you can't
2. 30 letter prompts, grouped by season of grief:
   • The First Letters — naming what you've lost
   • The Unfinished — what you didn't get to say
   • The Ordinary Days — telling them about now
   • The Anger Letters — the hard truth, on paper
   • The Memory Letters — capturing what you don't want to lose
   • The Forward Letters — telling them what you're going to do
3. What to do with the letters — Keep, burn, bury, send into the ocean, never read again — options without prescription
4. A note about responses — Sometimes the letter writes back. What to do with that.

Who this is for

• You have things left to say.
• You don't necessarily journal, but you might write one letter.

A note from us

The first letter is the hardest. Don't try to make it good. Just try to make it true. The rest will come.
