"Artful Grief" is a decade long study of loss by an art
therapist, in the aftermath of her daughter's suicide. On October
11, 2001, Sharon received a phone call in the middle of the night
from the New York City Police Department telling her that her
seventeen year old daughter Kristin, had "fallen" from the roof of
her college dormitory. So began her journey into the labyrinth of
unspeakable grief. As the rst year drew to a close she found no
comfort in traditional therapy, and no solace in spoken or written
words. In surrender to her inner art therapist's guidance, she
began to create collages. She cut and tore images out of magazines
and glued them on various size paper. The paper was a safe and
sacred container, receptive to the fullness of emotion, story and
paradox. Over time there was transformation and healing.
"Artful Grief"
A creative roadmap through violent dying and grief. A dose of
"soul medicine" for survivors. A way to retrieve the pieces of a
shattered life, with paper, scissors and glue. A resourceful tool
for those suffering with complicated grief and/or PTSD. A place for
the unspeakable to be seen and heard. A process to quiet the mind
and open the heart. A visual experience of trauma images as
illustrations of hope. A sample of prophetic dreams and meditations
that are illuminating. A heartfelt sharing of "intimate secrets"
for understanding and compassion. A surprising "grief gift" that is
inspiring.
