Grief Journaling Prompts That Actually Help

Putting words on a page gives shape to the thoughts and emotions that feel too heavy to hold alone. Journaling doesn’t make the pain disappear, but it does create a gentle place where your love and your loss can sit side by side.
It helps you reflect, remember, and notice the tiny ways your healing is unfolding over time. This page offers a collection of prompts to help you begin - and it’s just the beginning. At The Grief Table, we’re building an ongoing community of writing, reflection, and connection so you never have to navigate your grief in silence.

• Offers emotional release and a place for the truth of your grief to land
• Creates room for reflection without pressure or judgment
• Helps you trace your grief journey over time
• Honors your loved one and the bond that continues
• Opens space to notice both pain and meaning as they evolve together

• “What do I miss most about my person today?”
• “What memory brings both tears and gratitude?”
• “What would I say to them if they were sitting with me right now?”
• “How has my grief changed me?”
• “What small thing brought me comfort this week?”

Writing is just the entry point. At The Grief Table, prompts can follow you into your everyday life - into the grocery store, your morning routine, or a quiet moment where their memory finds you.
If you’d like weekly grief prompts, reflections, and gentle support, you can join our free newsletter anytime. It’s one more way to feel connected, encouraged, and understood.

As someone who has walked through the unthinkable after losing my 19-year-old son, Wendem, I needed a place to put the ache, the love, the confusion, and the memories. I wrote this journal because I wanted something that didn’t minimize grief — something that let me show up exactly as I was and slowly find pieces of myself again.

This downloadable journal is filled with:

• Heart-centered prompts
• Gentle guidance for the days when your grief feels heavy
• Space to remember, reflect, and continue your connection with your person
• Encouragement from someone who truly understands what it means to grieve
• 
  

It was created for anyone who wants a companion through the waves of grief - whether your loss is fresh, years old, or still unfolding in new ways.
