Creativity is the ready remedy. When the gravity of grief sinks in, the depths of emotion can be navigated with simple forms of expression that help us bear witness and say goodbye.

Slowing down and taking time to look at art starts the flow of deep thinking and feeling. It prompts learning and a desire to discover something yet undiscovered in our view.

Creative mindfulness activates the senses. What we see, hear, touch, smell, taste, and intuit imprints itself in the moment and memory of it. Sensory perception moves us to go with the flow and pure liberation of creativity.

Start with what you know and love and do the creative activities that nourish and energize your soul. Draw from within and give yourself the love and extra care needed at this time.
