When your parent loses a spouse, you carry more than grief-you carry schedules, decisions, and the quiet ache of keeping everyone steady. This companion journal gives you a gentle, practical place to land. Inside you'll find daily check-ins, grounding prompts, conversation starters, and memory-keeping pages that help you support your parent without losing yourself. Use short reflections to sort what to hold and what to release, create small rituals that bring ease, and set healthy boundaries with kindness. Track tasks, note wins, capture stories worth keeping, and return to simple practices-breath, water, rest-that make hard days feel 2% lighter. Designed for adult daughters and sons (and the caring professionals who walk with them), the journal pairs beautifully with Holding Without Breaking or stands on its own as a steady companion through tender seasons. Write a little or a lot. Go at your pace. Let these pages help you keep love at the center while you organize what matters-so wisdom, belonging, and hope can be carried forward.
