Description
When Words Are Not Enough explores the many ways that bereaved families find to express their loss. After losing their son in 2011, Jane Harris and Jimmy Edmonds have found solace in creativity as they navigate their grief.
The authors' journey has led them to create The Good Grief Project, a charity supporting families who have lost loved ones, particularly children. This book is an attempt to bridge the divide between the silence that surrounds grief and the lived experience of those who are grieving.
Beautifully illustrated, it shares their own responses to loss as well as contributions from 14 others who have found comfort in creative acts following a loved one's passing. A poignant exploration of how creativity can help us cope with the challenges of grief.
