Journals and Papers

When trauma, tragedy, life’s passages get us down, there seems only one way to cope with our feelings and thoughts. Keeping a journal through some of life’s more serious events helps us sort through our emotions and relieves some of the stress.

If you are grieving, angry, sad or depressed, spending quiet time writing in a journal can help ease the burden of your emotions. Some people use their journal to record events that happen during a traumatic event, such as going through a divorce, abuse, and health issues like cancer and major surgeries.

When you find it hard to let your feelings out with family members, friends or the clergy, talking to your journal can help. Start with free writing – write whatever comes to your mind. Don’t censor your thoughts. Let your pen take over and even if you end up with a scribbled mess that you can’t even read afterward, you will feel better having thrown your thoughts to the pages.

You may feel the need to write for several days, months or years. You will know when the time has come and you won’t feel the need to delve into those heavy feelings anymore. Then you can switch to a fresh journal and continue writing simply for the joy of it. Happy thoughts will come your way.
