Description
A thoughtful and beautiful journal for processing grief and remembering your loved one—including guided writing prompts, creative mindfulness exercises, and space for preserving photos
When a loved one passes away, the most common response from well-meaning friends and family is “there are no words.” But processing our feelings and journaling our thoughts can, in fact, help us heal. As an internationally recognized calligrapher and watercolor artist who lost her father at the age of 13, writing and art have influenced Brittany DeSantis’s entire life for the better.
Through a beautifully painted and guided keepsake journal, readers will be encouraged to use their words to reflect on and honor those who have passed with the following activities and sections:
- Repetitive writing exercises and mindful breathing exercises that help alleviate anxiety and overwhelm
- Thoughtful prompts to commemorate, celebrate, and cherish those who have passed
- Pages for attaching photographs, keepsakes, cards, and mementos in a convenient covered-spiral format
- Space for reflection and letters to loved ones
- Hand-painted quotes and words of wisdom that can be bookmarked or removed and framed
While this book is not a substitution for therapy or mental health advice for anyone coping with the stages of grief, it is a thoughtful journal to help people heal after loss and commemorate their loved ones.
If you or someone you know has lost a loved one, Forget You Not is a beautiful heirloom gift that replaces the standard “I have no words” with “Here’s how to find yours and remember theirs.””This is a beautiful journal that will help you to feel connected and supported in your grief journey, but more importantly, help you to honor and relive the joy you found with your loved one.”
—Sophie Cliff, certified coach and positive psychology practitioner and author of Choose Joy

“Brittany has the ability to deeply connect with others through her calligraphic arts as an instructor. Her classes often center on art as a means of bringing peace and capturing memories. After encountering this journal, I now see that her tools – her pens and brushes – have been the dear companions she has carried while wading through deep grief. It is no wonder to me now that her art reflects such depth of beauty and that her messages resonate with so many.”
—Chantelle Hoffmann, professional calligraphy instructor at Bespoke Strokes Calligraphy

Such a practical yet soul-warming toolbox.”
