Journaling when the unthinkable happens

You just got really bad news of some type--or something bad just happened--what-do-you-do?

What do you do when the unthinkable happens? What do you do when something so horrible that it's beyond your comprehension happens?

The answer is this: grieve and journal.

Then, when all else fails, journal. 

And, when you think you are doing better, journal.

And, when you have a relapse and it feels like it's happening all over again, journal.

Journal through the tough time. That's when journaling is the most important and the most useful to you.

And, whatever you do, NEVER delete  throw away, burn, or destroy these journals or journal entries. Keep them. They will be useful to you later to look at, evaluate, and see how you overcame. (Never mind how journaling helps you in the moment.)

Just journal.

You will get through this. You will. One breath at a time, one minute at a time, one hour at a time, one day at a time. You will get through.
