Abstract

Writing offers opportunities to remember, witness, honor, memorialize, and work through various permutations of trauma and loss. The author demonstrates, via clinical and personal vignettes, how finding a “literal voice” can deepen and advance the treatment in unique ways for both the patient and the therapist. Analytic termination is also explored as a preparatory experience for dealing with subsequent parental loss. Various theorists as well as literary sources are cited to further illustrate creative ways to deal with the mourning process.
