Podcast appearances and mentions of Hope Edelman

Happy Mother's Day. From the archives: Hope Edelman, author of "Motherless Mothers: How Losing a Mother Shapes the Parent You Become." (from 2007)

Experiencing grief and loss in our culture is often tough because no one really talks about it so few really know how to cope with it or even how to talk to the grieving.  ADHD adds a layer of challenge to this. In this episode, we explore the unique ways ADHD impacts the grief process as well as how to cope with grief and loss. Without this work, grief and loss builds up over the years and can come out in unexpected ways - both emotionally and physically. You'll walk away from this episode with compassion for your grief journey as well as clarity on how to grieve well to be able to start to string together more and more moments of joy after loss. If you know someone who is grieving, please share this episode with them for support. Here are some books I found helpful, thought please read at your own discretion as not all books helpful for me will be aligned or helpful for you: “Understanding Your Grief” by Alan Wolfelt “The Afterlife of Billy Fingers:  How My Bad-Boy Brother Proved to Me There's Life After Death” by Annie Kagan “You Cannot Die” by Ian Currie (a bit dry at first, considers life after death including reincarnation) “Motherless Daughters: The Legacy of Loss” by Hope Edelman (while primarily written for childhood loss of a mother, this was still useful) “It's OK That You're Not OK:  Meeting Grief and Loss in a Culture That Doesn't Understand” by Megan Devine (recommended by my grief group leader and I eventually read it later in 2019)   As always, thanks for listening!  I'd love it if you would leave a review. I have created two (pretty low quality - LOL) tutorials on how to leave a review on Apple podcast or Spotify in case you would like assistance.   And, if you enjoyed this episode be sure to follow if you aren't already and share with others with whom you think it will resonate.

Hope Edelman is an author, ghostwriter, essayist, writing instructor and life coach. The through-line connecting much of her work, from the collaborations she's helped to write to her own best-selling memoirs, is the theme of parent-loss. “Navigating motherhood without your mom is like assembling a complex puzzle without the picture on the box,” she writes in a blog post on her website. She's been writing about the grief and loss in her own life since her best-selling 1994 memoir Motherless Daughters—a book she began as a graduate student at the University of Iowa, when she realized she was being called to write about her mother's death more than a decade earlier.  It's a calling that connects Hope to her ghostwriting clients as well. Her first collaboration, a dual memoir written with actors Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez—Along the Way: The Journey of a Father and Son—is informed by the death of Sheen's mother, when the actor was just 11 years old, while her current project, written with Owen Elliot-Kugell, the daughter of the late Cass Elliot—My Mama, Cass—finds its narrative drive in the sudden death of the author's mother, who died in her sleep in a London apartment nearly ten years after she shot to fame as a member of The Mamas & The Papas. The recipient of a Pushcart Prize for Creative Nonfiction, Hope has taught writing at the Iowa Summer Writing Festival, the Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center, the University of Iowa, and Antioch University-Los Angeles.  Join us for a compelling conversation on what it means to find a way to heal as you find your voice as a writer.    Learn more about Hope Edelman: Website Facebook Instagram Please support the sponsors who support our show: Ritani Jewelers Chelsea Devantez's I Shouldn't Be Telling You This Daniel Paisner's Balloon Dog  Daniel Paisner's SHOW: The Making and Unmaking of a Network Television Pilot Unforgiving: Lessons from the Fall by Lindsey Jacobellis Film Movement Plus (PODCAST) | 30% discount Libro.fm (ASTOLDTO) | 2 audiobooks for the price of 1 when you start your membership Film Freaks Forever! podcast, hosted by Mark Jordan Legan and Phoef Sutton Everyday Shakespeare podcast A Mighty Blaze podcast The Writer's Bone Podcast Network Misfits Market (WRITERSBONE) | $15 off your first order  Film Movement Plus (PODCAST) | 30% discount Wizard Pins (WRITERSBONE) | 20% discount

She specializes in eating disorders and the mother daughter relationship.  Today's conversation is a wide ranging one. We focused on the transformative power of deep listening, as well as went into other interesting areas such as:  The importance of taking personal responsibility in relationships, particularly in the parent child relationship How we all have a need to be listened to, and healing happens once someone truly witnesses our experiences and chooses to listen to us deeply. How we unconsciously repeat harmful patterns and what it takes to break those cycles  Why therapists care so much about the past How we build resilience  And so much more Judy says that deep listening is an act of generosity.

Julia Morin is a writer, a Certified Grief & Loss Provider, Certified Grief Educator and Grief Support Specialist, and the face behind the Instagram community @girl_meets_grief, which she launched over Mother's Day weekend in 2021. Julia is a childhood grief survivor who lost her mother suddenly and tragically 27 years ago when she was eight years old — less than one week after Mother's Day — and has experienced a number of other losses in her life. She is fiercely passionate about normalizing conversations and ending the stigma around grief, as she continues to navigate the various manifestations of this significant early loss in her own life. She is especially passionate about work around mother loss and childhood loss, as a result of her lived experiences. Her approach to grief support is rooted in the belief that grief, like love, lasts forever — and while we never “get over” it or “move on,” we can learn to move forward with it, live alongside it, and integrate it into our lives.

Rachel was 8-years-old when she came home from church and was told her mom died in a car accident the night before. That day, her dad called her his brave little girl, and she lived up to that expectation. No one would see her cry until her dad's death. Rachel says that hearing about the passing of her mother is what made her human. It shaped her entire world view. Rachel highly recommends the books Motherless Daughters and The Aftergrief by Hope Edelman. Rachel's Take-Away: It's way harder to be 32-years-old without parents than it was as a child. Check on adult children. I didn't think about how hard it would be for the rest of my life. Forever is a very-long time. Adults think that grieving is step-by-step. Kids grieve differently. They may not cry. They may show it in other ways and little changes. You can learn a lot of things from kids when you pay attention to how they grieve. All of our stories are important!

Sadye's mom fought metastatic breast cancer for 6 years, and then she lost her mom when she was 12. Next she lost her dad when she was 23 to a heart attack. She's the youngest of 4 children, and even now, at 30, her grief and loss affect her significantly. Sadye recommends these resources for parent loss as a young adult: The Dinner Party (www.thedinnerparty.org), Motherless Daughters Group (www.motherlessdaughters.com/support-groups) and Hope Edelman's book, Motherless Daughters (hopeedelman.com/books/motherless-daughters) Sadye's Take-Away: Don't hide your emotions. Feel them and accept them. Grief is everlasting and unexpected. It's like the ocean, and the waves of grief can come and go. All of our stories are important!

Losing your mom at any age is hard, but when you begin to approach the age your mom was when she died, it has special significance. In this episode I'm joined by Hope Edelman, bestselling author and creator of the Motherless Daughters community, to talk about her work with women who have lost their mothers and why midlife can be a particularly fraught time for motherless women. Later in the show I'm joined by my sister Kathreen, who is about to turn 55 - the same age our mother was when she died - to talk about our experience losing our mom young, and how it has colored our view of motherhood, aging, and more.

Unexpressed grief from the past may be one of the most overlooked public crises of our time. Says my guest, Hope Edelman today-who is a strong voice and influential figure in the bereavement field and her books have helped countless people, especially women, as she wrote about mother loss. And mother loss, doesn't necessarily mean loss by death. There is abandonment, separation, neglect… Her new book is one of the most important books I've encountered one the topic. It's called The AfterGrief: Finding Your Way Along the Long Arc of Loss. As the title suggests, adjusting to loss is a lifelong process but as you'll learn from this conversation-it doesn't have to be a lifelong struggle. The AfterGrief is where we learn to live with a central paradox of bereavement: that a loss can recede in time and yet remain so exquisitely present.  MENTIONED IN THIS EPSIODE Ep. 307: How Mother Loss Shapes Who We Become Ep. 290.

We all have a story. Your life story defines who you are. And only you can tell your own story.  By sharing it you not only release painful feelings, make sense of what happened to you, gain a new perspective, form a new meaning, but you access a possibility of transforming your life. Whether you share your story orally or in a written form, it has healing power. Do you have an untold story inside that is itching to be shared? Kristy Lauricella and Judy Rabinor on the healing power of writing and sharing your stroy.  By revisiting and revising our stories and the meaning we attach to them is how our stories become one of growth as well as hardship.    “Meaning is not something we stumble upon.

Warning: This episode contains mature themes and sensitive topics.  While I think the conversation is deep, important and rich, it could be triggering for some. Please use your best judgment and assess whether you are in the right state of mind to be exposed to such content at this point in time.

About the Book:Deborah A. Lott grew up in a Los Angeles suburb in the 1950s, under the sway of her outrageously eccentric father. A lay rabbi who enjoyed dressing up like Little Lord Fauntleroy, he taught her how to have fun. But he also taught her to fear germs, other children, and contamination from the world at large. Deborah was so deeply bonded to her father and his peculiar worldview that when he plunged from neurotic to full-blown psychotic, she nearly followed him.Sanity is not always a choice, but for sixteen-year-old Deborah, lines had to be drawn between reality and her own “overactive imagination.” She saved herself through an unconventional reading of Moby Dick, a deeply awkward sexual awakening, and entry into the world of political activism as a volunteer in Robert F. Kennedy's Presidential campaign.After attending Kennedy's last stop at the Ambassador Hotel the night of his assassination, Deborah would come to a new reckoning with loss. Ultimately, she would find her own path, and her own way of turning grief into love.About Deborah:Deborah A. Lott is a writer, editor, and college instructor. Her creative nonfiction has been published widely. Her work has been thrice named as Notable Essays of the Year in Best American Essays, and thrice nominated for a Pushcart Prize.Her book, Don't Go Crazy Without Me has been acclaimed by writers Mark Doty, Abigail Thomas, Paul Lisicky, Karen E. Bender, Hope Edelman, among others. She is also the author of the book In Session: the Bond between Women and Their Therapists, which was widely praised for its unprecedented look at boundary and transference dilemmas in psychotherapy. Lott surveyed and interviewed several hundred women in gathering the research for that work. The book continues to be used to train psychotherapists nationwide and appears on multiple consumer websites as one of the top books ever written about the psychotherapy relationship.Lott serves as a faculty member at Antioch University, Los Angeles, where she teaches creative writing and literature courses, and serves as Editor to Two Hawks Quarterly. Among other courses, she has developed The Trauma Memoir, Lolita and Her Literary Sisters, and Representations of Childhood in Literature.As an independent editor, Lott has worked with a number of published authors developing articles, web content, books, academic monographs, and other materialFollow Deborah:Twitter: @deborahlott8FacebookWebsiteFollow TSatS:Twitter: @SituationStoryIG: @situationandstoryFacebook--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/situationandstory/support Get full access to situation / story at situationstory.substack.com/subscribe

When Jonna's mom, Anita, died just a few days after Jonna's 26th birthday, she prepared herself to completely fall apart. She imagined not getting out of bed for days, never laughing again, and for life to come to a standstill. When grief didn't look like that, it was confusing and left her worried she was doing something wrong. Jonna talks about her mom, their relationship, what it's like for grief to show up over time, and reckoning with how grief is changing her hopes and goals. If you or someone you know is struggling with feeling hopeless, please reach out for help. You can call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255 or text Hello to 741-741.  This episode references The AfterGrief by Hope Edelman. 

According to author Hope Edelman, when new mothers are grieving their own mothers, the physical and psychological stress can be overwhelming: You're suddenly in the role of the person you need most—who's no longer there. If you become a mother after your own mother dies, you're mourning what might have been. On this episode, we talk with Danielle Cunningham and co-host Bonnie Blaylock, who both lost their mothers before they had children of their own, and how that changed the way they parent.

Grief is a long-misunderstood experience that many people believe proceeds according to predictable steps ending in ‘closure.' According to Hope Edelman, however, grief is a long-term process that can actually enhance rather than constrict our lives. She debunks many myths about grief and loss in her new book, The AfterGrief: Finding Your Way Along the Long Arc of Loss (Ballantine Books, 2020). In our candid interview, she opens up about how the loss of her mother 40 years ago still teaches her lessons today, and she explains how we all might benefit from rethinking the way we grieve and heal from loss. This episode will be timely and relevant for anyone who feels ‘stuck' following a loss and is searching for a new way to move forward. Hope Edelman is the author of eight nonfiction books, including bestsellers Motherless Daughters and Motherless Mothers and the memoir The Possibility of Everything. Her original essays have appeared in many anthologies, including The Bitch in the House, Behind the Bedroom Door, and Goodbye to All That. Motherless Daughters was named a New York Times Notable Book of the year, and Edelman's work has also won her a Pushcart Prize for creative nonfiction. The recipient of the 2020 Community Educator Award from the Association for Death Education and Counseling, she is a certified Martha Beck Life Coach and facilitates Motherless Daughters retreats and workshops all over the world. She lives and works in Los Angeles and Iowa City. Eugenio Duarte, Ph.D. is a psychologist and psychoanalyst practicing in Miami. He treats individuals and couples, with specialties in gender and sexuality, eating and body image problems, and relationship issues. He is a graduate and faculty of William Alanson White Institute in Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis, and Psychology in New York City and former chair of their LGBTQ Study Group; and faculty at Florida Psychoanalytic Institute in Miami. He is also a contributing author to the book Introduction to Contemporary Psychoanalysis: Defining Terms and Building Bridges (2018, Routledge) and has published on issues of gender, sexuality, and sexual abuse.

Hope Edelman, a 2015 graduate, credits the Hoffman Process with changing the course of her life. She's traversed much heartache and loss in her life and she's been a guiding light to many others who have traversed the same. As Hope shares the tale of her life journey, you can't help but see the throughline of her life. When Hope was seventeen her mother passed away. After that day, Hope had always sensed that part of her was stuck back at that point. During a transformational moment at the Process, she took the hand of her seventeen-year-old self and walked her into the future so she could be an integrated adult. One of the beautiful statements Hope makes about her life is her shift from wanting to be exceptional to wanting to be helpful. In guiding others through the landscape of loss, Hope has greatly expanded the reach of her love's everyday radius. As Hope shares what she's up to now, she shares with us the power of the liminal* space. When we are between what has ended and what has yet to begin, between what we knew and what we are yet to know, we are more our essential selves than any other time. Rather than fear these times, we can come to see how alive and vital we are in them. MORE ABOUT HOPE EDELMAN Hope Edelman has been writing, speaking, and leading retreats and workshops in the bereavement field for more than 25 years. She was 17 when she lost her mother to breast cancer and 40 when her father died, an event that inspired her to offer grief education and support to those who need it now and especially those who did not receive it in the past. Hope's first book, Motherless Daughters, became a #1 New York Times Bestseller. Her newest book, The AfterGrief, offers an innovative new way to talk about the long arc of loss. She has written six additional books, including Motherless Mothers and the memoir, The Possibility of Everything. Hope holds a bachelor's degree in journalism from Northwestern University and a graduate degree in nonfiction writing from The University of Iowa.

Has anyone else been feeling a bit low lately? If so, the reason may surprise you. According to writer and grief expert Hope Edelman, many people experience a "dip in functioning" around the one-year anniversary of a trauma or loss. This week marks one year since COVID descended on the U.S., and in today's episode, Karen & Katie chat with Hope about the concept of Pandemic Grief.  The conversation is fascinating; Hope covers how culture in the U.S. over the last 150 years has changed around grief and how the one-year anniversary may be impacting us in different ways than any other trauma in our lives. Huge bonus: She also offers advice on how listeners can deal with and process their grief.  Resources from today's episode:  - Hope's op-ed on pandemic grief in The Washington Post (A MUST READ) - https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/02/26/pandemic-grief-could-become-its-own-health-crisis/?arc404=true - Connect with Hope on:  Her website: https://hopeedelman.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hope_edelman/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/hope_edelman Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3497675726911131/ - Check out her community for Motherless Daughters: https://www.motherlessdaughters.com/ (and the upcoming Mother's Day event - free for all and scheduled for the day before Mother's Day this year)

At the age of 17, Hope Edelman lost her Mom to breast cancer. After she lost her Dad later in life, she turned her pain into inspiration, as she began a journey to better understand the confusing world of grief. Her first book, "Motherless Daughters" was a number one New York Times best-seller, and now her latest book, "The After Grief", gives a brilliant insight into how we not only process grief, but how loss isn't something we just get over. The BBC Radio Five Live presenter Tony Livesey, who lost his Mum suddenly, when he was just 13 said about Hope's book, that if he'd had a roadmap like this for dealing with grief, it would have changed his childhood. So whether you're someone who's been recently bereaved, or is still struggling with loss from many years ago, or just want to understand grief a little more, than I know that Hope's story, insight and wisdom will help. This interview gives all of us a little more undserstanding about a difficult and confusing aspect of life that one day, we are all going to face.

This climate of silence around death made her feel shame around the topic and disconnected from her mother.

This episode is the audio recording from a virtual event held at the Kelly Writers House on November 18, 2020, featuring Hope Edelman, author of the new book The AfterGrief, as well as the widely successful and impactful book Motherless Daughters, and seven other nonfiction books. Hope and Jamie-Lee discuss Hope's process in writing and structuring The AfterGrief, how the book encourages those who've experienced loss to think critically about their own stories over time, and the way the Covid-19 pandemic impacted Hope and the book as she completed it. This event was sponsored by Penn's Creative Writing Program.

Nearly 320,000 Americans have died of COVID-19, leaving 10 times as many grieving. "The After Grief" author Hope Edelman joins us to talk about grieving. And, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has updated its list of extinct and endangered species. Jon Paul Rodriguez of the IUCN's Species Survival Commission explains why some certain species are dying out.

Hope lives and works in Los Angeles and Iowa City.The AfterGrief OverviewDrawing on her own encounters with the ripple effects of early loss, as well as on interviews with dozens of researchers, therapists, and regular people who’ve been bereaved, New York Times bestselling author Hope Edelman offers profound advice for reassessing loss and adjusting the stories we tell ourselves about its impact on our identities.With guidance for reframing a story of loss, finding equilibrium within it, and even experiencing renewed growth and purpose in its wake, she demonstrates that though grief is a lifelong process, it doesn’t have to be a lifelong struggle.https://hopeedelman.com/books/the-aftergrief/We don’t ever ‘get over’ the death of a loved one.But we do eventually ‘get on‘ with living in a world without this essential person by our side.It takes time to learn how to live in this new world.

Hope Edelman talked about her research process for this poignant book, what her term AfterGrief means, bereavement leave, and confiding in others. Her moving advice resonated with Zibby: release yourself from the idea of an end point for mourning and consider grief as ebbs and flow of intensity rather than an end point. 

I had such a great discussion with Hope Edelman for this episode. You may be familiar with Hope's work, as she wrote the groudbreaking book “Motherless Daughters” back in the 1990s, and has been writing, speaking, and leading workshops on grief ever since. She has a brand-new book out, and it's called “The AfterGrief: Finding Your Way Along the Long Arc of Loss.” It's for all grieving people—not just those who experienced early mother loss—and it dives deep on the impact of grief across the lifespan. I learned so much from reading The AfterGrief. In fact, I'll probably read it again, to let it sink in a bit more. I hope you'll check it out, too. Some topics Hope and I discuss include: Her desire to debunk the myth that one should be “over” their grief if it occurred many years ago; What she learned by interviewing 80+ people on their long-term experiences with grief; How long-term bereavement different is from the grief that people experience immediately after a death; The "Grief Trinity" -- New Grief, Old Grief, and New Old Grief; Hope's Three Rings of Grief; What is complicated grief, and how it is different from AfterGrief; The Dual Process Model of bereavement; How sometimes we reframe our stories of loss many years later; and Resources and events that Hope has available on her website.

Now decades later, she writes the AfterGrief: Finding Your Way Along the Long Arc of Loss.Hope Edelman is the author of eight nonfiction books, including the bestsellers Motherless Daughters and Motherless Mothers, and the memoir The Possibility of Everything. Her essays have appeared in many anthologies, including The Bitch in the House, Behind the Bedroom Door, and Goodbye to All That. Her work has received a New York Times notable book of the year designation and a Pushcart Prize for creative nonfiction.Her newest book, AfterGrief: Finding Your Way Along the Long Arc of Loss, offers a new way of looking at grief, utilizing anecdotal data from one of the only studies ever to look at the effect of loss over a long period of time. The book explains how grief is an unaddressed public health crisis and points to how history, gender, and cultural norms influence how we grieve today. Edelman also shares how we can reframe grief and begin to address it in new ways —because while grief is a lifelong process, it doesn't have to be a lifelong struggle.The recipient of the 2020 Community Educator Award from the Association for Death Education and Counseling, she facilitates Motherless Daughters retreats and workshops all over the world.

My mom passed away October 4, 2001. This year, I decided to honor her by reading some of her poetry. I also decided that I want to publish her work. This podcast episode’s audio is from a recorded Zoom call. I was live on Zoom, Facebook, and Instagram. I greatly appreciate all of those who listened live. SPECIAL THANKS TO

This week on the Single Mom Tribe podcast, we get to know Angela of Accomplished Self, a Transitional Strategist, helping to guide others through life after loss and what that might look like...Having lost her mother in a tragic accident just six days after being accepted into college, her 'worst case scenario' takes a sudden shift and she is met with an unbearable grief. Although she pushes on to pursues her degree, she uses her studies as a way to distract her from the pain. After seeking therapy and reemerging from this period of mourning, she begins to focus on what life could look like after such a sudden loss.Seeing as her focus in psychology was directly tied to her relationship with her mother, Angela decided to take on a double major in sociology - creating a new path that was specific to her personal interest in the functioning of human society. Distancing herself just enough from a degree that felt deeply rooted in her mother, and opening herself up to redefining her WHY for attending college in the first place.Angela's why shifted from something that was rooted in a relationship outside of herself to one that she valued on a soul-level. And while, we are often conditioned to believe that focusing solely on yourself is selfish, Angela believes that restructuring your WHY to encompass your personal morals, values, vision and purpose will be the driving force to accomplishing your goals.Beyond overcoming limiting beliefs and self-identifiers that are holding you back from redefining your future, Angela dives into codependency and how we as single parents can implement strategies self-regulating techniques to empower our children to take control over their actions and emotions. Being intentional with the seeds that we plant in our child's mind can reinforce your child's confidence in their ability to things on their own, with you there to support and guide them should they need it.This episode is filled with so much insight on grief and healing, major life changes that can really throw us off the path we once knew, permitting yourself to once again seek a fulfilling life after loss, the importance of consideration and curiosity, because there will always be other possibilities available to you, just believe.Growth can be scary, even painful, but what's worse? Being open and putting in the work to see what is possible, or never giving yourself the opportunity to live the life that you truly deserve, the choice is yours, you decide!To connect with Angela and the strategies that she shares about transitioning through life's greatest changes - Follow her on Instagram & Facebook: @accomplishedselfResources - Books Mentioned During this Episode:>> Broken Open by Elizabeth Lesser>> Motherless Daughters by Hope Edelman

Publishers love authors who generate bigger conversations, which sometimes grow into movements. While many authors will stumble into movements, others are consciously creating, or at least dreaming, into the possibility of a movement they might create. Join Brooke and Grant this week as they talk to guest Hope Edelman about starting a movement, having cohesion across your books, and being the kind of author that publishers have a hard time saying no to.

"Soldier on" was Hope Edelman's coping method for the sudden death of her mother until seven years later, a broken engagement brought her mother's death roaring to the surface. Hope started writing her New York Times Bestseller Motherless Daughters as a way to comprehend her loss and connect with other motherless daughters. Today we're talking about how death makes us crave truth and clarity, why it's so important to "add the middle" to our stories, and what other cultures have to teach us about grief and loss.

Back before you could ask Google anything from, “What’s the best way to clean shower grout?” to “How do I grieve my parent?” when it came to answering these kinds of questions, we turned to bookstores and libraries to search for answers. In the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, even if you did go looking for information about grief, you’d be more likely to find a dense, clinical textbook than something that could help you understand what you were going through. Then in 1994, Hope Edelman published her groundbreaking book, Motherless Daughters. A book that spoke to thousands of women grieving their mothers. Brennan Wood, Executive Director of The Dougy Center, was one of those readers. Soon after the release of Motherless Daughters, Hope and Brennan met for the first time on the Leeza Gibbons daytime talk show. Twenty-five years later they’re together again for a conversation about being motherless daughters who grew up to be motherless mothers.  Learn more about Hope's writing and work.

Kelly sits with Hope Edelman, author of Motherless Daughters, and they dive into mother loss, what it takes to heal from grief, and the broader subject of how women untangle themselves from their family dynamics, aka daughterhood, to step out of their own way and into their deepening lives.

Getting a story onto the page is a necessary first step. Then the heavy lifting, both outer and inner, can begin. While the facts of a real-life or fictional event may remain static from draft to draft, the author's interpretation of those events is likely to change with each iteration. That's where the real magic comes in. The workshop setting with its directed questioning is an ideal site for new insights to emerge. This Eleventh Hour combines literary craft and narrative therapy to explain how re-vision can promote lasting artistic and personal benefits.

One of the toughest things that can be faced by a girl or a woman of any age is the loss of her mother.  Our guest, Hope Edelman, knows all about that.  In fact, she knows more about it than most of us.  Hope is an expert in the field of early mother loss and mother-daughter relationships.  She's written extensively on those topics and is the author of "Motherless Daughters" and "Motherless Mothers", among others.

In this Eleventh Hour, authors Hope Edelman and Naomi Jackson will engage in an informal conversation about the joys and challenges of writing about family relationships. With many years of experience between them writing about family in both fiction and nonfiction, the Hope and Naomi will address the landmines that many writers face, or attempt to avoid, when writing about family and loss. They will explore the sticky issues of truth and responsibility germane to writing about real people in nonfiction and contrast it against writing fiction inspired by real-life events. This conversation will help writers navigate the rocky terrain of using family content—including ethical concerns—and move you toward completion of your own family-related writing project.

When we write narrative, both sides of our brains ideally work together: the left brain controls linear thinking, logic, and language skills, and the right brain creates context and inserts emotion. This Eleventh Hour Lecture will emphasize the importance of using both sides of the brain when writing fiction and nonfiction, to push beyond an episodic recounting of events into territory that reveals your story's deeper truths. Nonfiction author Hope Edelman will give you with tips for identifying universal themes and archetypes in your stories, and methods for articulating them to readers.
