Navigating Grief as a Writer | Writing Books After A Loss

I'm sharing my personal experiences with nagivating grief as a writer. This video is for anyone who has lost a parent, spouse, sibling, child, or experienced any kind of profound loss. While I can only share my personal experiences of the last 9 months and surely my own thoughts and feelings will continue to evolve, I've had to continue working as a professional writer in the wake of losing my mother, and wanted to share some thoughts.

I'm covering writer's block after grief, writing as therapy, how your executive function will change how you write/revise, and complex feelings about professional milestones and your books.

Apologies for how rambling this video is, as well as how personal in nature it gets. There ares some rough jump cuts where I had to cut around some crying.
