Grief is a complicated emotion. While it represents the love you felt, it is a painful way to remember—a personal journey with a very clear beginning, but no discernible end. Grief entered Dr. Sheila Cooperman’s life on several occasions, and each time, she turned to writing to help make sense of it.

After losing her two beloved mothers, Julia and Trudy, and her fur-baby Tucker aka Nubby-Bean, Dr. Cooperman wrote a weekly journal entry for an entire year. This cathartic experience taught her how to live with grief and ultimately grow from it.

A Year of Journaling Through Grief is a raw, unaltered flow of words, thoughts, and feelings. By sharing her story, Dr. Cooperman urges everyone to start journaling themselves. Grief can teach you a great deal about love, life, and yourself—if you allow it.

Dr. Sheila Cooperman is a retired English Language Arts teacher with a PhD in Literacy.
