Shes talks about the value of journaling through the grief and a few very simple and practical tips for getting started with journaling if that is something that is new to you. She also shares invaluable wisdom about walking through grief with a spouse or partner -- how important it is to ask questions like “how are you?” even when the other person is processing so differently than you are.
