Hello everyone and welcome to my blog! Today is the last Monday of the month and I wanted to do something special before I start with February's blogs. I am happy to announce that February's blogs are going to be all about love and I would to even incorporate a sweepstakes if anyone is interested in my blog. I hope I'm not the only one reading and writing these blogs...Hello out there! Can anyone read me? I'm a big giant goofball as many of you know but now, it's time to talk something serious.
On Thursday, we lost a family member and today, I was debating whether or not to post a blog while my family is in the grieving process. I began thinking of a letter I wanted to write to the ones that I have lost throughout the years. Recently, I lost my grandmother, who was my mentor, to pancreatic cancer in 2011. The pain is still with me today as I live miles away from home. While dealing with the grieving process, I wrote her countless letters telling her how much I missed her and to thank her for all of the amazing memories we've shared together while she was alive. Just by writing, it has helped me immensely with saying my final goodbyes to her. Now, it's your turn, writers.
My challenge for you today is to write a letter to those you have lost. It could be a parent, grandparent, sibling, a great friend, a spouse, or a child. Not only does it help with the healing process, it will help you write and write descriptively. Write vividly about memories and special times together. If your letter gets a little damp from tears, it is okay. I am not religious by any means but just know that that special person or persons in your life has got to a better place and is not in any pain or suffering anymore.
Thanks for reading and happy writing,
Megan Marie.
P.S. Note that I usually ask for you to write a sample of your writing in the comment box but since this is a personal post and writing, please do not feel obligated to post. Some things are private and I respect that. Happy Writing, writers!
