Letter to the Deceased

The oldest grief intervention we have

TherapistAssist logo

Writing to the person who died is one of the oldest and most-tested grief interventions. This letter is for you, not them. It doesn't have to be sent, shown, or perfect.

What I need to say
Anything — love, anger, questions, thanks, apologies, updates
What I imagine them saying back
What I'm keeping from this letter

Anger belongs here too

Grief that can't hold anger is grief that stays stuck. If the letter is furious, it's working.
