OSHER 606 - Writing Through Grief

Writing can help guide us toward a deeper understanding of the pain and suffering of loss. Whatever the reason for grieving – death of a loved one, the pandemic, divorce, aging, illness, job loss – this workshop is designed to provide a supportive environment for participants to explore and honor all feelings of grief. Writing prompts and short readings will offer new ways to express thoughts. Putting pen to paper gives us the opportunity to change perspective and transform suffering into healing. One optional goal of the class is to write a personal essay. All writing levels are welcome and no writing experience is necessary. Please keep in mind this is not group therapy.
