Listen Later

On today's episode Luis welcomes Ryan Abramowitz, author and artist of the book "Elegy For An Elephant", and Melissa McConnell, who introduced Ryan's book to Luis, to have a group discussion about the grief of losing a loved one to suicide, and how powerful artistic expression can be.

Ryan discusses the process of creating and releasing the book, and how the way it has shifted things for him in his process. He talks about making new relationships with the trauma and grief, practicing releasing lingering guilt, the timelessness of love, and the value in connecting with nature.
