Abstract

When I was asking Lara to write about her grieving experience, she tried very hard to put it on paper, only to find a powerful writer’s block. When we inspected this, it turned out that writing about her grief was causing her a lot of pain. I asked her permission to write about her grief, based on the sessions that we had together and based on the experiences that she shares each year with our students. I cannot write from her perspective but she gladly consented to this approach.
