The tagline for The Loss Art is “Honour your grief. Reimagine your future.” I wrote these words to capture the purpose of my business. I believe you can – and deserve to – live with hope and joy while grieving.
When you’re in the throes of grief, it’s hard to imagine getting to the other side. Your grief will influence who you are and who you’re becoming. However, grief doesn’t have to define you.
As time passes, you’ll have fewer and fewer waves of grief. Instead, you’re likely to feel moments of sadness while happy or happiness while sad because grief doesn’t ever go away entirely.
The good news is that you can choose how you grieve and set your own pace for living with your loss. A creative approach to grieving can help you move away from passive suffering towards actively making meaning of death and non-death losses. You can do this as an innately creative being.
You deserve to live with hope and joy while grieving
To help you focus some attention on the life you want to live while coping with loss, I’ve designed a workshop called Reimagine your future.
Like all gatherings and projects with The Loss Art, you don’t need artistic skills. It’s about the process, not the product – you may create a masterpiece worthy of framing or not and either is as it should be.
This is an opportunity to acknowledge the presence of grief in your life and to imagine the future you want. If you want to suffer less and live with more hope and joy, I’d love to have you join my Reimagine your future workshop in April. It’s being offered in person in Ingersoll and Port Dover.
