Laura Davis has written about pain and healing her whole life. From her book The Courage to Heal to I Thought We'd Never Speak Again, she has offered help and hope to a wide community of people determined to find their way through their challenges. But what did she experience when her own loss, the decline and death of her mother, demanded more of her than she could have imagined? As she supported her mother, writing offered solace and helped her to move forward. And after her mother's death, she continued to find refuge in written expression. She now sits with other people writing their way through their grief, supporting them to give expression to the experience of loss.
