Description
Restore your acceptance and healing.
This course is aimed at people struggling with bereavement who require help or an outlet to express their thoughts and emotions. I struggled immensely when my mum passed away back in 2014, mainly because of the long, terminal illness she sadly had, and the emotional and physical impact of caring for her through this while holding down a job and raising two children. Creative writing is the therapeutic tool to help you cope with your grief and regain some control of your emotions. The creative writing prompts aim to comfort and assist while also encouraging you to focus on positive aspects. For example, if there is something that you didn’t say to the deceased person you can write about this, which helps with closure.
This course contains 22 creative writing prompts and provides information and guidance covering the following topics:
Benefits of Creative Writing for Grief
Models of Grief
Bereavement and culture
Bereavement and health
Immortality - who wants to live forever?
Complicated Grief
