My mother passed away in May of 2016 and I bought this coloring book shortly after. Coloring has been a very therapeutic self care hobby of mine for several years and I was very relieved to discover this book when I did.
I have been very deliberately going through this coloring book and writing the journal entries with the additional guidance from my grief counselor. I have been on a grief journey filled with purpose and compassion. Going through this coloring book has been a profound and very healing experience for me!
Part of my ritual when beginning a new page is I meditate on the word before starting. I then think of the word and what it means for me as I color the page to get a sense of how it fits into my grief path. I have also researched several of the words online to gain a deeper perspective of the word before beginning the journal entry. With the use of this, meditation and counseling, I’ve had a very profound grief journey that has been extremely therapeutic, self nurturing and (dare I say) enlightening and has been filled with emotion, inspiration and revelation. I truly can not recommend this book any higher. My therapist has now suggested this book for several of her clients going that are struggling through challenging times.
The key for me has been to be deliberate and intentional with process. One of my challenges is impatience, so this has been a great exercise for my development in that area. Also, being compassionate with myself and understand that grief is a very personal journey and all emotions and stages are valid and natural. Lastly, I’ve learned to LEAN IN to the grief and each word on the page and don’t resist whatever emotions or thoughts arise. It is all natural and all needs to be felt.
This is definitely an amazing tool for anyone going through a grief journey of any kind. I also think it is potential a great self discovery and self healing coloring journal generally speaking.
