The Art of Grieving

The Art of Grieving challenges conventional attitudes towards grieving. Part memoir, part grief handbook and guide, Dr. Collins draws on a lifetime of experience as a dancer, social work professor, and therapist to illustrate the value of grieving and how the arts can become grief's collaborator. Listeners of the audio book will be provided guidance and resources on how to use the arts of storytelling, music, dance and visual arts to make grieving itself a life-long art. When we utilize the arts to honor our losses and celebrate together, as our ancestors once did, we are provided a path of insight that allows us to continuously learn from our grief, making its wisdom available to us in our future lives.
