Find a private, quiet place with no one around. As an alternative, go to a place that reminds you of him. Perhaps a park you held hands in during that first stroll together when you started dating, or maybe that coffee shop you first started getting to know each other. You could even sit at your wedding venue like Cheswick House & Gardens envisioning your big day.
Set the mood with some candles. You don’t want it to be too dark, otherwise you’ll have trouble seeing and writing. You also don’t want it to be too bright, otherwise it’ll feel clinical.
Pour yourself a glass of your favorite chardonnay from The Cocktail Service and get your emotions in the right headspace.
