Episode: The Language of Loss with Barbara Abercrombie & Growing Big Dreams with Robert Moss
Description: Are you mourning the loss of a loved one? When Barbara Abercrombie’s husband died, she found the language of condolence irritating, no matter how well intended. She yearned for words that acknowledged the reality of death, spoke about the sorrow and loneliness, and might even point the way toward hope and healing. Barbara Abercrombie has published over fifteen books, two of her books were listed on Poets & Writers Magazine’s “Best Writing Books of the Year” list. She has received the Outstanding Instructor and Distinguished Instructor Awards from UCLA Extension, where she teaches creative writing. www.barbaraabercrombie.com
