Can art heal the deepest wounds of our hearts? In this powerful episode, we bring you the moving story of Jane Edberg, an accomplished artist and former art educator, who has navigated the unthinkable grief of losing her 19-year-old son through the transformative power of creativity. Jane shares how her art evolved from processing childhood trauma to confronting the immense sorrow of losing a child. She recounts a deeply personal moment where, with the support of her daughter, she turned her grief into a profound artistic expression, capturing it poignantly through photography.
We also delve into the concept of finding purpose through creative expression during times of sorrow. Jane opens up about her personal rituals and how they helped her navigate her grief, including the metaphor of an ever-changing river that taught her life continues to flow and change. Through documenting these experiences, Jane discovered a new way to heal, eventually creating a book filled with insights for others facing similar losses. This episode is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the intentional choices that allow us to navigate the transformative journey of grief with newfound purpose and meaning.
