In 2013, my Mama passed away unexpectedly. The writing of my memoir has been therapeutic, especially since losing her was so devastating. Eventually, while writing it I made peace with the grief. It is my hope that this podcast will inspire listeners to examine writing therapy as a tool to express, the sometimes difficult feelings, they may not yet, be ready to speak. I'd love for this to become a space where people can share stories of their loved ones and feel supported. I know this would make my Mama proud.
When it all just comes down to it, I miss my Mama and I share something she shared with me a year before she passed away. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/danielle-brewer-craig/message
