Writing to Heal
I believe that
“Every Pet Has a TAIL to Tell.”
...And I want to help you tell yours.
Why write?
Write to keep your pet's memory alive.
Write to remember.
Write to preserve the Relationship.
Write to give the heavy emotions a soft place to land.
Writing is accessible to everyone.
No experience necessary.
This brand of writing is about the Process.
Not the final product.
It's designed to be Messy. Unfiltered. Unedited.
Your words are for YOU.
Not sure where to begin?
Explore my guided writing prompts.
While writing, don't get stuck on formality or perfection.
There is plenty of time to edit later.
Just Write.
While the memories are fresh and ripe for the picking.
Write whatever you feel.
Document an ordinary moment. Or an extraordinary moment.
Jot down memories as they come. In order. Or in no particular order.
Use your words to capture a Version of yourself. A Time in your life.
Use a journal.
Or a laptop.
Or the back of a flyer you dig out of the recycling bin.
Scribble captions beside photos in a scrapbook.
Write a letter. Or a series of letters.
An obituary.
Whatever speaks to you.
But handle yourself with care.
Because Remembering can hurt.
If it feels too heavy, take a break.
Our emotional strength to Remember can shift with time.
Take along my tips to decompress and catch your breath during writing.
