EDITOR’S CHOICE
Beautifully written, deeply comforting, and profoundly healing—this journal gently guides the grieving heart toward remembrance, gratitude, and lasting connection.
Grief is an intensely personal journey, and Stacey Niedentohl’s My Head Knows: But My Heart Still Hurts serves as a compassionate companion for those navigating loss. This 30-day grief recovery journal is not just a guided exercise in remembrance but a deeply thoughtful tool for healing.
Niedentohl, drawing from her experience as a medium, understands the fear that accompanies loss—the worry of forgetting a loved one’s voice, their presence, their essence. She acknowledges these emotions with warmth and reassurance, creating a space where memories can be honoured rather than feared. The journal encourages reflection and gratitude, allowing the bereaved to document cherished moments while gently guiding them towards acceptance.
What sets this journal apart is its ability to balance emotional depth with practicality. The prompts are structured yet open-ended, allowing for personal exploration without feeling overwhelming. It does not impose a rigid path to healing but instead invites readers to engage at their own pace. This flexibility makes it a valuable resource for anyone, regardless of where they are in their grief journey.
While no book can erase the pain of loss, My Head Knows: But My Heart Still Hurts offers a sense of comfort and connection. It reassures readers that while their loved one may be physically absent, their presence remains woven into their lives. Thoughtfully written and profoundly empathetic, this journal is a heartfelt gift for anyone struggling with grief.
