Why did you create this journal?

"I wanted to provide a creative outlet for people who are grieving, and some peace. And I wanted it to be really simple, in that, sometimes grief is overwhelming especially when it's brand new. And to just grab a marker or a colored pencil and fill in lines can kind of help you escape a little bit," Nash explained.

How did you come up with ideas for the prompts?

"The prompts, I came up with those from just the experiences with my families and my patients over the years. You know, the healing comes from saying the things that are important. And those are the, 'forgive me,' the 'I love you,' 'I'm sorry,' then 'thank you.' So it stems from the experiences I've had with patients and families and the healing that I've seen," Nash said.

Who can benefit from a book like this?

"I think that anybody could benefit from it. I think I've had a lot of feedback that it's been really helpful for teenagers," Nash said.
