Clinician-created · specialist review requiredFor clinician-facilitated use
This is a professional resource, not a child-facing online service. A licensed clinician or other qualified adult must determine suitability, explain and adapt the activity, and supervise its use. Do not direct a child to access this webpage independently or enter client information.
The full-resolution WebP includes print-safe margins and should be downloaded by an adult professional. Read the guidance below before using the page.
How to use it
- Choose a frame only if writing feels workable; you may write to a person, a situation, yourself, or no recipient.
- Write, draw, dictate, or leave fragments without making the letter complete.
- Decide whether to keep, store, share, alter, or discard it.
- Stop and seek support if the activity becomes too intense.
Reflection prompts
- What, if anything, do you want this page to hold for now?
- What choice about privacy, storage, or sharing feels safest?
Facilitator guidance
Do not require reading aloud, sending, forgiveness, apology, reconciliation, closure, gratitude, or a coherent narrative. Discuss privacy and disposal before writing, and prepare a closing transition that fits the participant.
Adaptations & accessibility
- Use voice recording, collage, symbols, a blank page, or unsent digital text.
- Write in third person or use sentence fragments.
- Offer secure storage, immediate return, or supported disposal.
Professional-use review
Enhanced licensed grief-specialist review required before use; assess traumatic loss, complex relationships, self-blame, privacy, activation, and adequate closing support.
