The author ofGrief Dancers describes how writing--journaling, grief work, and creative writing--helped her cope with her daughter's devastating disability, how it helped her transform her pain and grief into joy and gratitude, and how readers can use the writing process to achieve acceptance and understanding. Original. 12,500 first printing. - Random House, Inc.
Susan Zimmermann experienced a devastating loss when her first child, Katherine, developed a neurological disorder that left her unable to walk or talk. Faced with her daughterâs disability, Susan struggled with fear, denial, guilt, bitterness, and despair. She began to heal only through writing. Working through conflicting emotions with paper and pen enabled her to transform her sadness into acceptance and even joy.
Writing to Heal the Soul is Susanâs gift to othersâeveryone, not just writersâwho are suffering any kind of grief or loss, whether the injury, disability, or death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship. Lyrically illustrated with true stories from the author and others, the book offers simple yet inspiring writing exercises to help you resolve your pain as you transform your grief into words of hope and healing.
