Too Tired to Be Brave

A grief journal for when everything feels like too much.

A quiet journal for the weeks and months after losing someone. Each page asks for very little: one word, one line, or more if more comes. A blank page counts too.

There are undated pages for any day, and pages for the days that hit hardest, like their birthday or a night you can’t sleep. Later sections hold space for memories, letters and what helps. If it’s a gift, the first page has room for a note from the giver.

  • 30 undated two-page spreads
  • 12 pages for the heaviest days
  • 144 pages · 6 × 9 in paperback

The Caregiver’s 90-Day Log Book

A daily care tracker, weekly reflection journal and handoff planner for family caregivers.

A log book for tracking daily care. Each day has one page for medications given, vitals, food and drink, sleep and mood, with a small box to tick when there’s something to tell the doctor.

Once a week, a two-page spread asks what changed in them, and what the week did to you. At the bottom sits a handoff panel: what the next person would need to know if someone else takes over tomorrow.

  • 90 undated daily pages
  • Weekly reflection and handoff spreads
  • 144 pages · 8.5 × 11 in paperback

About

Made to be written in

Parallel Quill Press is a small independent press. We make journals and logbooks for people going through a hard stretch: caring for someone day after day, or grieving someone who has died.

Every book is made to be used. The pages are undated, so you’re never behind, and the prompts are short, so a word or a line is enough on the days when that’s all there is. Each list has its own author name, so you always know what kind of book you’re getting.
