Following her two books on grief and gratitude, Just One Little Thing and Gratitude in Grief, Kelly S. Buckley now presents The Path: A Journal from Pain to Purpose. The journal is filled with impactful writing prompts covering topics on grief, ranging from things left unsaid to recurring memories to traditions and special days. “Grief can surge back like a rogue wave, even when the person looks just fine on the outside,” Buckley writes. This journal offers a guide to writing about the deep—and sometimes complex—parts of loss.
