We know the only way to get to the other side of grief is through it. How we get there is up to us; it can be talking things out or through speaking's old relative: writing.
In this episode, Lisa Braxton, a communications manager, memoirist, and award-winning author, joins us to discuss the healing power of writing as a coping mechanism for grief and loss. She authored the multi-award-winning book, "The Talking Drum," and a memoir; her latest creation, "Dancing Between The Raindrops,” a powerful meditation on grief that helped her cope with the death of her parents, who passed within two years of each other.
Throughout this episode, you'll hear Lisa's thoughts on the healing power of writing, the space for grieving she found between paragraphs and white spaces, and the choice we all have when loss gets in our lives: to grow or stay the same. Lisa also talks about the writing process of "Dancing Between The Raindrops," the challenges she had to overcome to get her book published, the importance of sharing the stories we all have inside of us, and more.
