The ability to think about and be aware of our thoughts, or metacognition, is uniquely human. The process of writing helps us to make sense of our feelings, assigning words to those emotions and helps us to organize our thoughts. In doing so, we are better able to identify our feelings and allow us an opportunity to release emotions. There are many reasons that journaling can be helpful. Journaling can be a form of therapy and help us to cope as we navigate through grief and find a way to make peace with the loss of our loved one.
