Chicken Soup for the Soul: Grieving, Loss and Healing
The deadline for submissions is September 30, 2021.
Grieving is a personal process with different stages we go through on the way to recovery after we have suffered a loss. Each person grieves in his or her own way and in his or her own time. There is no right or wrong way to grieve and no set time or path to recovery. It is a very personal journey.
Sometimes the loss feels overwhelming and like the pain will never end. While the hurt and sadness never completely fade, they will ease with time and recovery will happen.
This collection of emotional and inspirational stories will provide comfort, support, and peace to those who have lost someone close to them. What helped you the most when you were grieving? Who were the people who helped you and what did they do? When did you know that you had finally “turned the corner” and were on the road to recovery? When and how did you realize there was light at the end of the tunnel? What are you doing to support others?
Your stories will give our readers inspiration and insight into how others are coping and let them know that there is hope, and recovery will happen. We hope that the true stories in this book will offer comfort and guidance to our readers and help ease the journey to healing. Please do not send us a biography about someone who has died.
If we publish your story, you will be paid $200 one month after publication of the book, and you will receive ten free copies of the book your story or poem appears in.
