This book should be sought by anyone interested in the potential of
their own creativity and others to help them discover fresh and
fulfilling ways to heal in the complex situations surrounding
serious illness and loss. It can also be recommended to students

truly holistic mode to investigate this field.

Bolton's collection serves up national and international sources of
inspiration in the healing arts...This text...can be seen not only
as offering accounts of the role of creativity in varying context
of palliative care, but also as a collation of creative acts in
their own right. Poetry, photographs, painting, excerpts from
dialogue and profoundly moving reflexive writing are all presented
to inspire the reader to consider their own creative responses to
the world and their part in it...This book should be sought by

The writing is blunt, the topics heart-wrenching, and the words
poignant, addressing issues such as the death of a beloved child,
spouse, parent or friend; the pain of illness and treatment; and
the helplessness of watching a loved one suffer. Although these are
hard topics to consider, it can also be a relief to have difficult
subjects acknowledged... DYING BEREAVEMENT AND THE HEALING ARTS
reminds readers that creative expression is available to everyone
as a means to understanding and growing through life's changes and
challenges.
*Journal of the American Art Therapy Association*
Gillie Bolton has been an inspirational voice and a practitioner in
the involvement which has simulated a wider appreciation of what
"makes" health. This volume of twenty essays is a delight - rather
like a well-prepared buffet - something to nourish those seeking
deeper food for thought and practice. This book will both feed any
reader who wishes to be enriched by listening to experience and
also find a way to express what is humane in the face of human
frailty.
*The Christian Parapsychologist*
For anyone curious about how it is that the arts can evoke,
enliven, reassure, educate, recount and then enable us to share
with others, this is the place to start.
*Bereavement Care*
Each chapter is very diverse with contributions from patients,
survivors, professional healthcare workers and artists. I would
recommend this book to all. As healthcare professionals we can
never stop trying to understand our fellow human beings hopes and
fears.
*Journal of Community Nursing*
Dying, Bereavement and the Healing Arts offers valuable insights
and inspiration for any practitioner working in a palliative care
setting. In my opinion, this is a rare case of something doing
exactly what it says on the tin.
*Dramatherapy*
This is a thought provoking book which invites the reader to
consider how art can be healing for the patient, the bereaved and
the healthcare professional... The common thread throughout the
chapters is how being creative often speaks new leases of life in
both patient and those surround her. At the end of the day the book
shows how the creative arts have hidden health benefits for
patients, the bereaved and healthcare professionals whether that
comes from looking at Van Gogh, listening to Bach, writing a poem
or moulding some clay.
