I spend an afternoon every five years or so rereading them. I love to see how much I've grow emotionally and in my writing skills. <br /><br />I think I understand what you're saying about writing about grief makes you happier.

It gives clarity of what our fears and grief are really focused on.Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30128583.post-71350841899467639062012-02-22T15:08:51.714-06:002012-02-22T15:08:51.714-06:00Oh, the need to write about grief, I understand.

My stack of journals starting from age 17 are the visible reminders that writing about feelings, for me, remains part of my mental health fitness plan.
