Writing to Recover: The Journey from Loss and Grief to a New Life
By Harriet Hodson (M.A. '61)
Centering Corporation, 2008


This concise guide for anyone who is grappling with grief and loss came from the depths of Hodgson's despair as a result of her loss of four family members in nine months.  During the year she spent writing the book, she realized that she was not only writing for recovery, but also for survival.  Hodgson's reflections have become a resource that encourages all who grieve to write about their experiences and helps to guide the reader through the healing process and onto the path for personal growth.
