Grief can be quiet and often unspoken. Writing letters to grief provides a safe, reflective space to acknowledge emotions. This practice isn’t about “fixing” grief, but about noticing and honouring your feelings. Begin by finding a quiet space, using prompts to guide your writing, and reflecting on your words. You can close the ritual with symbolic gestures, journaling, or sending your letter to a postbox - privately or to share with others.

Conversations about grief are essential to the health and resilience of our communities. Grief is universal, but too often it remains hidden and wrapped in discomfort. By creating spaces to talk about loss, we open the door to compassion, connection, and shared understanding.
