This book celebrates finding positive ’coping mechanisms’ to support mental health.
Not until a family bereavement, twenty years ago, did the author begin writing and drawing with such intensity.
It became a positive outlet for emotional release, providing respite from deep pain. Calming and concentrating her mind, unconsciously it became a type of ’therapy’. It inadvertently also disclosed a ’love’ for expression through the process of writing and drawing.
Each poem and piece of artwork is a commemorative product of a journey on a path to healing and enriched mental health.
