Grief Forgiveness Letter

Set some of it down, keep what matters

TherapistAssist logo

Grief often carries unfinished business — resentments, apologies, things unsaid. A forgiveness letter (never sent, or sent) is a way to set some of it down.

Who this letter is to (them, or myself)
What I'm still carrying between us
What I understand now that I didn't then
What I'm ready to release — and what I'm not
What I want to keep of us
How I'll ritualize this — read aloud, burn, bury, keep
