FORGET YOU NOT

A GUIDED GRIEF & KEEPSAKE JOURNAL FOR NAVIGATING THROUGH LOSS

A Thoughtful AND BEAUTIFUL JOURNAL FOR Processing GRIEF & Remembering YOUR LOVED ONE

As an internationally recognized calligrapher and watercolor artist who lost her father at the age of 13, Brittany DeSantis’ entire life has been influenced for the better by writing and art.

When a loved one passes away, the most common response from well-meaning friends and family is “There are no words.” But processing our feelings and journaling our thoughts can, in fact, help us heal.

Now #1 most-gifted in grief & bereavement on Amazon and a National Indie Excellence Award winner!

BRITTANY DESANTIS IS THE Sentimental WATERCOLOR ARTIST & INTERNATIONALLY Recognized CALLIGRAPHER BEHIND PEAK PAPER CO @peakpaperco

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a paintbrush and pen in hand. Whether I was creating poems and illustrations or memory-keeping in my daily journals, art and writing are deeply a part of my journey. My only hope is to inspire you to find healing in your own words and the joy of expressing yourself on paper too.

After my dad passed away suddenly when I was 13, I journaled a lot.

And I didn’t know the long-term effect it would have on me to acknowledge and process what I felt during that time until much later in life, when I read and understood the research behind the journaling process.

We don’t need to have any answers or perfect sentences or beautiful prose. We just need to slow down and put pen to paper

And in the simple act of expressing ourselves, even if those words never see the light of day, writing lightens the load.

Author and artist Brittany DeSantis writes in a journal

If there’s one thing you absolutely must do, it’s to remove the expectations you or others place on you for the time it takes to heal and how you should feel. Both are infinite.

These pages are meant to help you put one foot in front of the other. To allow all your emotions to express themselves freely and not turn against yourself for feeling too much or for too long (there’s no such thing).
