Totally agree. I write a lot around when people have died, especially when its been traumatic - suicide, young deaths [which as I get older the age when I think someone has died too young has got older!!] and yes losing your mum too.
Around the time when my sister died and a friend committed suicide I did a Writing for Therapeutic MA which I didn't finish because it served its purpose just by doing the first part.
Once a month I go to a journaling workshop where again it is a chance to explore feelings on the page.
I know you didn't do footnotes but I'm sure you've come across James Pennebaker.
