Grief, Faith & the First Year — Fillable Guided Journal + Bonus Comfort Card Deck
Grief doesn't follow a calendar, but the first year asks the most of you — the first birthday without them, the first holiday, the ordinary Tuesday when it catches you off guard. This is a companion for that year, not a fix for it.
Grief, Faith & the First Year is a 33-page guided journal that walks with you week by week through the early shock, month by month through the long middle, and day by day through anniversaries and milestones — anchored in Scripture, honest about doubt and anger, and completely undated so you can start any day.
Fillable & printable. Type your answers directly on your phone, tablet, or computer — or print it and write by hand. Your choice, every page.
Included free: The Comfort Deck. 52 printable Scripture cards, one for every week of the year. Print on cardstock, cut them out, and keep the deck by your journal or your bedside. Pull one each week to match your entry, or shuffle and draw whenever you need a steady word. Two blank cards are included so you can add a verse of your own.
What's inside:
- 33-page fillable/printable guided journal (instant digital download)
- 7 sections covering the full first year, plus anniversaries, holidays, and legacy pages
- Honest, Scripture-anchored prompts — not clichés, not toxic positivity
- Bonus: 52-card printable Comfort Deck (7-page PDF, print-and-cut)
- Undated — start today, move at your own pace
This is not a replacement for grief counseling or professional support. It's a quiet companion for the pages in between.
