It's Only Temporary…

A Journal for Surviving Loved Ones

Loss. It is an inevitable part of life. The grief that follows the loss of a loved one may never go away, but the anguish doesn't have to last forever. It's Only Temporary . . . A Journal for Surviving Loved Ones, offers timely assistance for the bereaved. This slender pocket journal is a way to gracefully help.

Writing provides those in mourning with a natural path to healing. It's Only Temporary, created by veteran journalist Linda L. Jones, is designed to encourage the bereaved to write down their innermost thoughts and feelings – emotions they might fear airing publicly. It is a safe way for them to process such sentiments.

The journal opens with a hopeful prayer: "May each thought and each memory, give me peace."

The journal, which comes with an elegant envelope, includes a series of guided writing exercises to aid in the quest for acceptance and serenity. A generous number of lined pages follow each writing prompt. The writer is inspired to ramble freely and perhaps, in doing so, make sense of it all. Not everyone is a celebrated poet or professional writer. When journaling, one doesn't have to be. It's Only Temporary, is a journal for anyone needing a safe place to let their feelings flow. It is a thoughtful gift that can be discreetly given and gratefully used.
