          “Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All the
          unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in the hollow
          part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”
          – Jamie Anderson

          Psychologists believe writing about grief can reduce pain. Research has found that putting down
          one’s thoughts about worries and concerns can help those looking for ways to cope with their grief.


          While writing requires motivation, energy and dedication, it’s easy, less stressful and all one needs is
          a pen, paper, computer or your device keypad. You don’t have to talk to anyone about it.
