My earliest attempts at journaling during the time of extreme trauma led me deeper into journaling. Within the span of eighteen months, my youngest brother was killed in an automobile accident, soon after that my mother passed away and my father followed her within a few months.

When you pen down the thoughts and emotions that run through your mind like a broken record, leave them behind on the pages of a notebook.
