Grieving Creatively....?!

CREATIVE GRIEVING is certainly a wonderful resource to read for ANYONE grieving.  Elizabeth Berrien lost a child and then less than 18 months later, her husband died.  She shares her story with wonderful heart and humor, but mostly an obvious passion to help others who are grieving--at whatever stage of grief the person may be.  She is going to be at Malaprop's Book Store in Asheville, NC on Monday, November 19.  I am going to do everything I can to be there.  I'd love to meet this amazing woman who has walked such a tragic walk, but who is coming through her grief journey with a renewed purpose.  She has opened a grief, trauma, loss support group program in Charlotte, NC called "The Respite."  I am hoping to attempt to go visit one day.

As one who has suffered 3 separate child losses, this book was one I flew through.  It does help to know that others hurt, too.  But Berrien has reminded me of the importance of sharing my story as a way of helping others and giving me (as well as what has happened to me) PURPOSE.

It's a quick, wonderful read that is well worth your time......
