We Need New Scripts for Grief

Stories of bereavement are dominated by one particular myth of a 'good grief', but this leaves sufferers of 'complicated grief' alone and unsupported.

Before I get going, I want to let you know that my first two-hour creative writing workshop (online, recorded) is now available for purchase. The theme is ‘Overcoming the Challenges of Writing on Women and/or Feminism’, and the workshop discusses ways to negotiate the awareness of potential critical voices responding to our work; various forms of fear that accompany us when we’re writing on feminism; the challenges posed by historical failures to adequately memorialise women’s work; the difficulties of pivoting between personal and political writing; and crafting a female-friendly language. Find purchase links for the whole six-session writing course, or for individual workshops, by clicking here, and my lovely annual, founding and Sisterhood subscribers receive a 50% discount on all fees.
