During the holiday break, there are many opportunities to read, one of my favorite hobbies. One of the books I chose was Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking. Joan writes of the year after her husband’s sudden death when she is also dealing with the serious illness of her only daughter. In addition to the topic of grief, Didion handles the lack of control we feel about the events that occur in our lives; made all the more potent in the illusion that at some point we did have control. Her description of the grieving process beautifully captures its non-linear, non-predictable nature. Ms. Didion is a highly educated published writer yet the denial and pain of the grief is illustrated by her unwillingness to give away John’s shoes after his death, “ in case he needs them.” Reading this account of grief, brings to mind all of the other things we grieve in our lives. Grief in this case is the loss of a mate through death but the feelings of grief may also occur with the loss


Tips for Journaling


Journaling is a lot like what your mother may have told you about taking medicine: “It’s good for you, so do it anyway.” Now, whatever comes up in you with that memory, make a stretch to step past it because this is not something your mother is telling you to do. Journaling is a choice you get to make for yourself. And that is what this little note is about – how you do it just for yourself. Here are the basics:

  • Your journal is private – a communication for you alone. No one – EVER – is to read any part of it. If you want to share something with someone - even with your counselor – read it to them.
  • If you cannot guarantee your journal will remain private, burn the pages after you write them (Do it safely, please!)
  • Remember, there is no grade. Don’t worry about sentences, spelling, grammar or neatness.
  • Write whatever comes in your head – no matter what.
  • If you can’t think of anything, write about what it is like to not have anything to write about.
  • Write often – more than you want to or think you need to.

Oh, you are wondering what you will get out of journaling? No one can tell you. You can only find out by doing it.
