Forget You Not

By Brittany DeSantis

A compassionate guided grief journal for remembering a loved one and navigating life after loss.

Forget You Not is a guided grief journal and memorial keepsake for adults mourning the death of a loved one, including a parent, spouse, family member, or friend. It is a thoughtful sympathy, bereavement, condolence, memorial, or remembrance gift for a funeral, celebration of life, anniversary of loss, or any time someone needs support through grief.

This beautifully illustrated grief journal offers a private, supportive space to reflect, preserve meaningful memories, and express emotions at your own pace. Created by calligrapher and watercolor artist Brittany DeSantis—whose own experience of losing her father shaped these compassionate exercises—this remembrance journal combines thoughtful writing with creative mindfulness.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Guided prompts to capture treasured memories and stories

• Letter-writing pages for expressing thoughts left unsaid

• Mindful breathing and meditative writing exercises for quiet moments of reflection

• Space to preserve photographs, cards, keepsakes, and mementos

• Hand-painted quotes and words of wisdom that can be bookmarked or removed for framing

• A convenient covered-spiral format designed for writing and memory keeping

Whether the loss is recent or many years past, there is no required order or timeline. While this grief journal is not a substitute for therapy or professional mental health advice, readers can return to these pages whenever they feel ready to commemorate their loved ones.

When it is difficult to find the right words, Forget You Not offers something meaningful: a gentle place to reflect on a life shared and keep precious memories close.
