WHY am I STILL grieving?? (Therapeutic Art Project inspired by Motoi Yamamoto)

7 FREE Printable Templates for grief art projects: danicatheartist.com/project-gr...
It may be months, or even years since your loss, and yet grief remains much longer than we're willing to admit. If we try to rush through our grief, stuff it down, or ignore it, it simply remains dormant - waiting for a time and place when it can be expressed. Grief is a long-term process.
Grief ART is all about the PROCESS. The goal isn't to create a beautiful, perfect masterpiece as soon as possible. The goal is to take time to slow down, and focus on your feelings and thoughts as you create. The final product is just a bonus!
