"All the lasagna dishes have been returned, and the flowers going in the bin remind you why you opened this journal. Your life has been turned upside down. You might be exhausted. You could have the grief fog, the nothing stares, no motivation. Maybe you’ve had another day of ugly cries or maybe you just can’t cry at all. Perhaps you’ve been grieving for some time and don’t even know how you feel. It’s the worst club you have ever joined. You never signed up and you can't unsubscribe. Life is hard right now. It's not what it was before grief … or ‘BG’. You're not the same person. What kind of person are you? Will anyone like the new me? Nothing is going to feel ‘good’ again. Self-care could be the last on the list and opening this journal might have taken most of your will power! "
