25 years of art magic for creatures at hsgn.ca

15 years volunteer Death Doula/Bereavement Advisor
Hospice Niagara, HHA, NRH and local LTC
Palliative care and grief support groups are where this art-magic unfolds with ease. I have found life's greatest lessons while sharing space, art and conversation with humans in their most sacred timeframes... It is here, on the doorsteps to unknown, that we connect with each other as strangers on the deepest of level
dealing with death books... colour and light in a dark time
REMEMBERING OWL:
A ten page, vibrantly fingerpainted book that tells the short story of a death in the forest. Creatures reflect together and consider different ways of viewing a loss and moving forward naturally. Non directional and openminded approach to conversation on a tricky subject.
author/illustrator: Deborah Stapleford
DREAMING OF OWL:
The second book in a "dealing with death through artwork" series. Meant as a tool to open conversation about dreams of the deceased.
author: Dr Joshua Black
illustrator: Deborah Stapleford
Grief expert Dr Joshua Black has teamed up with Deborah over the years, to deliver bereavement support on a variety of platforms. They have collaborated on grief talks and art displays in funeral homes, libraries, LTC, hospices, etc., creating space for healing others. Check link below.
