Printable Grief Journal: Guided Prompts for Healing & Reflection (PDF)

This printable grief journal is an invitation to pause, breathe, and hold space for yourself through loss. Grief is not something to “get over” — it is love, memory, and change moving through your body in its own time.

Inside, you’ll find gentle prompts to help you write honestly and openly — whether you feel raw, tender, confused, angry, hopeful, or broken open. Some days you may write full pages, other days just a single word. Both matter.

How to Use:

Begin at the start, flip to what speaks to you, or return to the same page again and again.

Use words, doodles, or even silence as your response — there is no wrong way.

Take your time. This journal is meant to be a steady companion on your grief journey.

Prompts include:

A memory I want to hold close today is…

The person I miss most reminds me of…

If my grief had a shape or texture, it would be…

What feels sacred in my grief is…

When I imagine light returning, it feels like…

At the end, you’ll be reminded: you have given yourself the gift of space, and the grace to meet your grief as it is.
