Good Grief

""Processing grief is necessary for us to experience joy. When we ignore grief too long, we get stuck in one of its five stages - denial, bargaining, anger, depression, and acceptance. After a lifelong, yet intermittent, search for artistic hope, G. B. had the privilege to spend the 2020 and 2021 coronavirus pandemic processing grief to access her long-lost artistic hope. In this book, G. B. leads us through the five stages of grief with poems that illustrate common causes of grief, including change, childhood trauma, identity, and interpersonal conflict. Use this collection of poems to access emotions associated with grief, move toward acceptance, and ultimately create more good in your world with your newfound hope.""
