Tell us a little about yourself. I have been putting my grieving on paper off and on for over 60 years. At the age of 3, my one memory was being lifted to view my mother in her coffin. Striving to put this pain into constructive healing yet not being able to heal, has left me at a crossroad. Not only can I describe details of that viewing; which traumatized me, but being unable to learn about my mama but raised by an unloving, mean father deepened the scars. If you have suggestions for format and outlune of pain, please share.
What was your motivation behind this project? Even now, at age 66 I still deal with unrelenting sorrow. I know not how to deal and move forward.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? Sharing my experience and hopefully finding a peaceful path towards pleasure, is vital in my quest.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? Stirring the infamous pot of tears, perhaps my pain will help others to face their own.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? In my search for the 'secret' to finding peace, the quest continues.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: Do not remain isolated and alone. From personal experience, loneliness can only make the darkness and anguish deeper. Reach out!
