With a series of writing prompts, Lisa M. Bolt Simons will have participants write about the grief they've been forced to bear. Lisa has taught grief writing classes, and co-hosted three-day grief retreats, to give people a way to explore and express their experiences with not only grief but also the lighthearted/humorous memories that remain when someone is gone. Although Lisa supports sharing one's work, it is not mandatory.

Registration is required: bit.ly/griefwritingff

Participants should bring their favorite writing tools: pencil/pen and journal or paper, laptop or tablet, etc. Optional: bring a photo(s) of a loved one who passed away.
