How Creativity Became My Companion in Healing", An Introduction.

Hi, I’m Adrienne, a grief doula, educator, and artist. My journey with grief has been deeply personal, shaped by profound losses that changed me forever. Over time, I discovered that making art wasn’t a distraction from grief, it was a way to mourn on purpose. In this article, I share my personal experiences of loss and healing, and how simple, accessible art-making can become a powerful tool for anyone navigating grief. Whether you’ve experienced the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or a version of life you once knew, art can be a way to honor, express, and ultimately integrate your grief into the fullness of your life.
