Grief’s Gift:
Companion & Reflection Journal

Grief doesn’t always end when the story does.

Sometimes, that’s when the deeper questions begin.

Grief’s Gift: The Companion Reflection Journal is designed to be used alongside Grief’s Gift: A Daughter’s Journey of Brokenness, Grief, and Learning to Trust God Again by Carmen Allen.

As you read the memoir, this journal invites you to pause and explore your own story.

With two to three thoughtful prompts for each chapter, plus lined space for reflection, prayer, and memories, it offers a quiet place to process grief at your own pace.

This guided journal is especially helpful for daughters, caregivers, and anyone walking through the slow goodbye of dementia, cancer, or long illness.

Inside, you’ll find space to:
• process your experiences of loss and caregiving
• recognise moments of unexpected hope
• express honest thoughts and prayers
• record memories and reflections

There is no right or wrong way to use this journal — only your way.

If Grief’s Gift helped you feel seen, this companion journal will help you continue the healing process… one page at a time.

The journal is available in paperback or hardcover.

The hardcover journal is beautiful! It somehow makes the words of whoever uses it seem more important and valuable...
— Janet Ashmore

I'd Love to Send You Something Free

The journey that became Grief's Gift taught me that hope doesn't always arrive in big dramatic moments. Sometimes it comes one small step at a time.

That's why I created Help Me, God! I Need Hope—a free 5-day devotional filled with short reflections, scripture, and prayers for anyone navigating grief, caregiving, or loss.

I'll send the devotional straight to your inbox.
