ICU Diary for Families: A Supportive Journal for Reflection and Healing

Caring for a loved one in the ICU can be overwhelming. The ICU Support Journal,

created by a critical care nurse with 25 years of experience, offers a structured, compassionate way to stay organized, process emotions, and support your loved one through their journey.

This interactive diary is designed to be a helpful resource during and after the ICU stay. With daily logs, space for reflections, and tools to improve communication with medical staff, families can document key updates, milestones, and questions, ensuring clarity and informed decision-making. Guided emotional prompts provide a safe space to express feelings, while personal message sections help foster connection and hope.

The journal also includes a ""Getting to Know Me"" template to share personal details about the patient with care teams, post-ICU recovery tips for navigating challenges like Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS), and a section for the patient's own reflections when they are able.

Whether you're looking to organize medical notes, reflect on emotions, or create a meaningful keepsake, this journal offers structure, comfort, and hope. It's a practical and supportive companion for navigating critical care and recovery with confidence and compassion.
