It Comes In Waves Grief Workshop

Spend an hour with Simon Arthur, a Grief Recovery Specialist, and James McDermott, the writer of It Comes In Waves, and learn more about how grief affects us and how creativity can help us. 

In the first half of the session, Simon will take you through some common themes around bereavement. In the second half, James will talk about his own loss, which inspired him to write It Comes In Waves and many other pieces of his creative work. James will talk about and show how creative writing has been important in his journey with grief. Although both parts of this session have some interaction with the participants, neither Simon or James will ever put anyone on the spot and they deal with emotive conversations and material in a way that is supportive and sensitive.
