Book excerpt: If you have recently lost your Wife, first: our condolences, we understand the feelings of loss. Grief can make it difficult to think about anything else so allowing yourself to write about it kills two birds with one stone. ''Letter'' Therapeutic writing Therapeutic writing after losing someone like ''the Wife'' allows you to express yourself freely and safely, which is rare in this highly judgemental world. It also provides you with the tools to explore and discover within so that you can build your inner strength back up again, this type of writing is the most therapeutic as the griever has the opportunity to speak out from the heart about what he or she wants to express. It can be especially helpful when the letter touches a sensitive issue. you will probably cry or smile when writing it, which is healthy, as it can tap into strong memories and emotions. The first step in writing a letter: is to not rush it, the grieving process is not something that can be rushed through, this letter writing process should be done at a pace that feels right to you, for some people, it will be fast and furious, and for other slow and come in fits and small starts. for those who are used to thinking things through before writing them down, it requires practice to write freely. Here ways to write as fearlessly as possible: Whatever you've typed, keep typing. don't stop to look back at what you've written and don't criticize yourself, this time, you're free from any self-criticism. You aren't writing for others to read. you're writing for yourself, so don't feel obliged to think and make the words coherent. just feel whatever it is you're feeling and continue typing. Type in one breath, one sweep. don't pause to think. give a chance for your feelings to flow effortlessly and let your fingers dance flowingly. The next step: is the actual letter, you may write as much or as little as you want, as noted before if you start feeling uncomfortable after writing a page or two then it's okay to stop, the process takes time, so pick it up then on a day when you may feel more comfortable. write everything you wish you could express to your wife, all the things you've been holding on to. The third step: is to read the letter out loud, go to a quiet place like '' beach or garden'' and make yourself comfortable, imagine that your wife is standing right in front of you and that you are reading the letter directly with her. Read it with all the energy and emotion that you can, Continue to hold their image in your mind as you express everything in the letter, You may find that you want to add things on even if the letter is finished, feel free to do so, and once you've expressed everything you want or find yourself tired out, wish to your wife a final goodbye. Note: When you are finished, some people find it helpful to destroy or throw away their writings, which may give you true freedom from the burden of negative experiences, do what feels right and always remember to treat yourself kindly. At last, give yourself time to grieve, everyone grieves differently and within their own timeframe, hopefully, some of the changes are eventual decreases in the intensity of painful feelings and longing and decreases in the length of time grief and feel overwhelming, the low times aren't as low and don't last as long, As time passes and we grow, we can also have new questions and insights about our losses which change the grief we experience, just let your heart and mind heal from this traumatic experience, never judge yourself in the healing process. whenever needed just write again freely.
