191: Marriage After Suicide of A Child with Lisa Brown
There's nothing worse then loosing a child. Especially to suicide.
In this difficult situation, one isn't themselves, they can give and care for the relationship like in normal times, understandably so. But what happens to the marriage?
Lisa Brown shares with us her personal story of how she's been able to get through this great challenge and make her marriage even stronger.
Lisa is a self-taught artist teaching and learning while exhibiting and selling. During her 35 years of teaching Lisa developed a series of “art-as-therapy” workshops for those suffering from illness and adversity. Lisa have dedicated her life in the belief that art is therapeutic and can help express words hard to speak while allowing us to escape for a few hours.
Lisa has a BA in Art, a MA in Creative Arts and is the Regional Coordinator for Creative Journal Expressive Arts with Dr. Lucia Capacchione, A.T.R. (The Power of Your Other Hand) Since being trained Lisa have facilitated programs for support groups: (cancer, brain-injured and bereavement) at the local hospitals, wellness centers, for couples, for Art Educators of New Jersey, high schools, and (CEU’s) for colleges as well as facilitating a variety of workshops in my studio and full weekend retreats since 2007. Lisa wrote Hold the Moments: Creative Experiences in Parenting for parents and grandparents who want to make the most of the time spent with the children they love. It offers hundreds of projects to do with children and recommends you keep a journal of the stories and adventures you have together so that you can reminisce as the children get older.
