When you lose a loved one—a partner, a parent, a child — the world shifts on its axis. The grief that follows is a profound, often isolating experience that can feel impossible to put into words. People may ask, “How are you?” and all you can manage is a simple, “Not bad, yourself?” because explaining the crushing weight you feel is just too hard. For those moments when language fails, art therapy offers a lifeline.
The journey toward the end of life is often a final, profound passage—one that a person walks not only with their body, but with their spirit.
