Losing someone you
love is always really hard. No matter the circumstances, whether a person
passes suddenly and much before their time or it is a slow process, like an
illness or old age, your first impression will be shock and denial. The first
days –sometimes even weeks, you might find yourself acting and planning your
daily life as if they were still there. It is too hard and overwhelming to just
accept the absence for what it is. Pain and guilt usually follow; the pain of
not having that person around you, the unbearable regret for all the time
together wasted, all the things you planned to do but didn’t, and now you can’t
do. There will be so many things that cannot be shared, you will think of the
emptiness and space left by that person in your future experiences. This
frustration leads way to anger, at others, at God, at yourself, but time heals
all wounds and helps you calm down and heal, accept the absence and learn how
to live with it. You will work out how to deal with your day to day situations
on your own, but hope to always keep a special place in your heart for that
special person.
Once you accept
your loss and find a way to cope, it can often happen that, in time, small
details of that special person slip your mind. Times you shared together,
conversations you had, that special way of saying something in particular, all
these things tend to have some trouble standing the test of time. But those who
are gone, but not forgotten, are the ones who stay the longest in your heart,
the ones who stay alive.
From this very
notion stems my “Inspiration Journal – Remembering Who You Are”. After losing
my sister, I found that writing as much as I could about her helped me cope and
understand her parting. More importantly, it helped me keep her alive in my
memory and in my heart.
The journal works
as a guide through loss and permanence, to memories and to the use of thoughts
and stories to keep alive emotions and relationships. I’ve structured the
process through different stages to help you analyze your internal experiences,
thoughts and feelings regarding the lost loved one, to help you reflect and
search inside yourself to bring out your deepest and fondest memories and to
help you reach a better understanding of your life together. Putting all of
this in writing can help you put your mind at ease and better move on without
forgetting. So Can somebody help me write my story.
The
Inspiration Journal is divided in several chapters with very specific goals.
First, to warm up your memory, then to spark up your creativity and connect
moments or words in particular to broader situations and dynamics, and finally
to develop and record these situations for longevity, keeping the spark and the
essence of your loved one in time. I’ve
also chosen a few of my favorite quotesabout love,
loss and the magic of keeping the past alive through storiesand placed them in every chapter to
serve as inspiration for you to reflect on the entire experience that is grief.
After
completing this journal, you may find yourself changed and moved by the things
you have learned and remembered about your loved one. Most importantly, you
will have a keepsake to always remember how special that person was to you and
the many reasons that made them so. For more details click here:- Turning
