7. I don't journal as often now

Nov 2020

But sometimes I will notice myself struggling and I journal for awhile. I never would have believed that it could help so much. It helps to sort out and organize your thoughts, and then you can relax, knowing that you don't need to think about everything at every moment. I don't know if that makes sense. It's hard to explain. All I know is that, for me, it helps.

I do it on my computer because it's just so much easier to let that flood gates open.

Grief really IS very complicated.
