The topics of Into a Long Curl are very personal and important to me and I would love to speak to your group about them.
A Reading from Into a Long Curl My book covers the topics of illness, caregiving, loss, and grief. I can choose the appropriate section of the poem to read to your group, and we can follow up with a discussion about the topic. Journaling workshop for caregivers This is a sixty-minute presentation to introduce caregivers to journaling, which can be a powerful and helpful tool during difficult times. As a writing coach and instructor, and with my experience as a caregiver, I bring the information needed to help you open up your journal writing process, and combine it with the compassion and understanding of someone who has “been there.” The Caregiver’s Grief Caregivers are the “angels” who dive in when a loved one is in need. We do this knowing that this will be the last phase of our loved one’s life, whether it lasts for years or days. In other words, we create more intimate relationships and get more closely intertwined with the person we love, all the while knowing that this person will soon be leaving us, and thus our heartbreak will be deeper and more painful. To caregivers who have lost loved ones, I want to offer some tools that will pull them to shore, and away of their grief. |
