I have done this, and it's really cathartic. When you burn it, make sure you are near the kitchen sink with a bowl full of water waiting because those letters can burn.
Also keeping yourself busy with friends and family helps. If you are really lonely and have nothing to do, do some volunteer work. It helps put things in perspective when you realize that your life isn't half as bad as someone else who is really suffering.
