Beyond Words: The Therapeutic Value of Art for Grieving Hearts by Adele Giles.
Grief is an experience that defies words. The pain and complexity of loss can leave us feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and unable to express what we are going through. In times like these, many turn to art as a way of processing their emotions and finding a sense of solace. Art has the power to speak to us in ways that language cannot.
A Personal Journey:
When my Grancher passed away, it stirred up mixed emotions within me, from anger to despair, and left me feeling lost and disconnected. During a whirlwind of emotions in my studio, I unrolled several sheets of drawing paper and took out a set of soft pastels. During this time, I created several new works. Among them is a drawing entitled “Caitlin in Grancher’s Dressing Gown”. This piece became a tangible representation of my feelings and memories.
Drawing has since become a powerful form of art therapy for me. The physical act of using my hands to translate my emotions onto paper has given me a sense of agency amid grief. My studio is a space to reflect and process my feelings in a more focused and intentional way.
