The third book in Julia Cameron's groundbreaking trilogy on creative self-renewal, now for the first time in paperback.
When psychotherapist Jeanne Safer lost her mother, she was determined to turn her loss into an opportunity for insight and growth. Through her own experience, her work with patients, and in-depth interviews, Safer shows that the death of a parent can be a catalyst for change.
No matter what you say to someone whose parent or loved one died, it should be derivative of the same goal: communicating empathy and offering assistance, understanding what a person might need from you, and knowing how to phrase sentiments the right way.
It’s hard to know what to say to a friend who is grieving. Here’s what you should keep in mind.
This is what it looks like when you grieve the death of an estranged parent. It’s this surreal thing, where everyone expects you to feel something—yet you don’t. For me, it didn’t feel like I lost a parent, or a loved one, or even a close friend. It felt like I’d lost what could have been.
One of the best ways adults can help young grievers is to listen to their stories. Telling their story is a healing experience.
Sorrow, relief and guilt are just a few emotions that may come up when your estranged parent dies.
SARK’s whimsical, hand-printed, hand-painted books . . . are guides for adults (kids, too) who long to play and be creative, but have forgotten how.
SARK invites the journal writer to compose his/her own creative companion through gentle instructions and playful directions toward artistic freedom. Your “inside child” will peek out to want, wish, find pleasure, and amaze you.
We all need reminders that it’s little things that make us feel really alive—those small actions and subtle gestures that can potentially lead to great moments of magic and joy.
