New York, New York and San Francisco, California ( freepressbox ) October 11, 2011 - Loss can lead us down very unfamiliar pathways, says Laurel Rund, and with no guideposts to show the way, we have to learn how to be this new person that is emerging. For Laurel, the death of her husband, Marty, led her to the Expressive Arts and a new creative voice. Her book, Emerging Voices is Laurels journey on this pathway of loss, but the theme is a universal one we can all relate to: the desire to move through the devastation of grief and come out on the other side not just intact but joyful. Emerging Voices is filled with Laurels original artwork and poems, and readers can use the intentionally blank pages to express their own thoughts and feelings about loss and life transitions.
