Who makes it
Still With Me was made for one person before it was sold to anyone. My wife lost her mother, and started writing to her: in notebooks, at the kitchen table, mostly at night. What she needed was not a blank page but a question to answer. I built the journal for her: a book that asks, so the person holding it does not have to decide what to say first. Everything since then is the same book, written out for other relationships.
The journal is made by Jarno Olthof, in the Netherlands. Questions go to hello@stillwithmejournal.com; on Instagram, Still With Me is @stillwithmejournal.

What we do not claim
- A journal is not therapy, treatment or grief counselling, and we do not present it as one. Our help page lists where to turn instead.
- We do not publish review scores or ratings we have not received. The store is new and we say so.
- Prompts are free. The 25-prompt PDF and every relationship prompt set cost nothing and need no purchase.

Frequently asked questions
What is Still With Me?
A publisher of guided grief journals, each written for one specific loss, that help you process grief through writing and keep your memories of the person. Each edition holds 80 written prompts across 9 chapters in 120 pages, at 6 × 9 inches, in paperback ($29.99) or hardcover ($39.99).
Who is behind Still With Me?
It began as a private project: my wife lost her mother and started writing to her, and I made the journal she needed, one that asks a question instead of handing her a blank page. The other editions came afterwards.
How many editions are there?
Twenty in English, each named for one relationship, and sixteen of those are also published in Spanish.
Where are the journals printed and how are they shipped?
Printed to order at a local facility in your region, printed in 3 to 5 business days and arriving in 7 to 12 business days. Shipping is a flat $6.49 to the US and $8.49 to Canada, $8.75 to $13.45 within the EU depending on the order, and $9.00 to the rest of the world.
Which edition should I choose?
Each edition is written for one relationship, so start with the person or animal you lost. There is a short guide per loss: parent, spouse or partner, child, sibling, grandparent, friend and pet. If none of those fits, For the Loss of a Loved One holds the same prompts without naming the relationship.
