What I Never Told You

Full description

There are the words you did not have time to say. The ones you regret saying. The apologies you wish you had made, the thank-yous you thought you still had time for. After a death, a separation or a broken relationship, those words stay suspended and keep spinning in your head. What I Never Told You is a 114-page journal to finally give them a place: 52 guided letters, one a week for a year.

You will never be alone with a blank page: every letter is prepared for you.

What you will find inside

• Guide: the words that remain and why writing them helps, the difference between regret and guilt, and the plan of your 52 letters, week after week
• 52 guided letters: before each letter, a guide page explains why this letter matters, gives you 3 sentence starters, an example to inspire you and 2 questions to go deeper. Then comes your letter page, with space to write freely
• Themes that follow your journey: what I did not have time to tell you, I am sorry for…, I forgive you for…, thank you for…, what you have missed since you left, the anger I still carry, what I now do for you, how I am today, and many more
• Release: what to do with your letters once they are written (keep them, read them aloud, burn them, leave them somewhere meaningful) and a page to see what has changed in you over the year

Who this journal is for

For you who lost someone and still have words stuck in your throat. For you who live with regrets after an argument, a distance or a departure that came too soon. For you who need to forgive, or to forgive yourself. This journal fits every kind of loss: a parent, a spouse, a child, a friend, an ex, or even the person you used to be.

How to use it

Take a quiet moment each week, on the same day if you can. Read the guide page, let the example inspire you, then write your letter without censoring yourself: nobody else will read it unless you want them to. You can follow the suggested order or pick the letter that speaks to you this week. At the end of the year, reread your first letters: you will see how far you have come.
