I've found that writing or drawing about grief and struggles to be very cathartic. For me, it's been a boon to my mental health all my life. I hope you'll keep writing out your struggles, even if you never share them. When I do this, it releases something; it lets me kind of look back from outside the event, gives me the distance to see it in a way I cannot while I'm still in the grip of the sorrow.

An actual therapist once told me something along these lines: Putting our struggles into pictures or words is like we are communicating with a therapist who experienced the same things, helping ourselves understand our pain, and begin healing.
