Merle Saferstein discusses finding healing through journaling Since retiring as director of educational outreach at a Holocaust center in 2011, she began speaking internationally on topics of legacy journaling, journaling for healing, death and dying, living a life that matters, and Holocaust-related subjects.

She had spent her entire life journaling, filling hundreds of journals throughout the years. Since she found such great healing and peace through her own journaling, she felt she wanted to share this blessed pasttime to help others on their healing journey. Since then she has written books that give prompts and shares lessons in a couple beautiful books that help others in finding healing.

Sheila is the author of Party of One and several journals and the founder of the career coaching company Live Out Loud, where she could work with you and help you find yourself. Her book Party of One is about her journey of overcoming grief. She was very insightful as she spoke about how often we get stuck in grief because we fear what we find on the other side. Although her grief was from her husband, she points out that often, that is the cause for many who struggle with grief, whether it is from a job, infertility, or whatever caused you to feel life didn't turn out the way you thought it would.
