Senses.
Grief is experienced through your senses–your hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch.
A familiar song.
Unexpected fluorescent lights.
The smell of Autumn.
Bites of cheesecake.
The texture of a blanket.
What you smell, see, taste, hear, and touch show up in your memory of what has been lost.
Use your senses to feel your way through grief.
Journal Prompts:
My grief sounds like…
My grief looks like…
My grief smells like…
My grief tastes like…
My grief feels like…
