On Grieving

Grief is an unassailable emotion. A state of humanness unique to each one of us, and different each time we experience the symptoms of grief. Susan Wyndham (My Mother, My Father) and Kristina Olsson (Boy, Lost) talked with Hilary Harper  during the session,"On Grieving".
This session was a sensitive insight into the human experience of grief and how writing can facilitate expressing the sometimes inexpressible feelings, thoughts, spiritual and emotional responses to  grief. Contemporary society has limited ritual contexts for people to express and come to terms with shock and  grief.  The herb garden of  writing and drawing expands regenerative opportunities with which to dignify these profound human experiences.
