Drawing On Grief
is a uniquely creative journal and mindful keepsake which draws on the soothing therapeutic power of drawing and creativity to help people navigate the pain of bereavement.
In this moving book of
self-help through art therapy
, author Kate Sutton draws on her own experiences of losing a loved one to help others on this
difficult journey
, presenting guided creative prompts as well as memories of her own and quotes from others on the painful topic of loss.
By guiding readers through
creative exercises
from drawing fond memories together to creating an ocean of tears with colouring pencils, this book helps people
visualise the pain they are going through
, so as to better understand and navigate their grief.
The book also contains
written prompts
such as writing a letter to yourself and to your loved one, designed to
help people express the difficult emotions
which bereavement brings.
Part self-help book, part memoir,
emphasizes
the importance of self-care in the grieving process
, allowing people to explore their own feelings through creative mediums, which can often be easier than trying to express feelings directly.
A modern and insightful approach to the pain of loss
,
is a
sensitive and compassionate guide
to help people
look after themselves
as they traverse one of life’s most challenging moments.
