Creative Grieving
Elizabeth Catignani
This is a story of resilience, strength of the human spirit, hope in the face of loss, and the connection, joy, and gifts that can inevitably be found through grief. Through Elizabeth’s story of traumatic loss, we are given insight into an authentic journey from tragedy to triumph. The path she follows is not neat and tidy and predictable as she walks into the unknown. It is beautifully messy. It is scary, uncertain, painful, joyful, surprising, and ecstatic.
Within a 20-month period, Elizabeth endured the loss of her stillborn son and the subsequent death of her husband on active duty in Afghanistan. She found herself a 27-year old widow whose life had been shattered. In this book, she shares the experiences, the wisdom, and even the joy she gathered on her journey from grief to hope.
Her authentic account of grieving will empower you as as you cope with loss. Along with Elizabeth's personal stories are pieces of "Hip Chick Wisdom" from a community of women, "Creative Hip Chick Ideas," and a list of helpful resources that are available as a downloadable PDF as well as on her website www.HerCreativeWellness.com.
By listening to Elizabeth speak about her own story of vulnerability and courage, you will learn how to find your own creative way of moving through grief to hope - uncovering gifts along the way.
