This is an outline for a workshop I led for the Northwest Narrative Medicine Collaborative Community of Practice, May 26, 2020. Although this workshop occurred on zoom during the pandemic, it could be modified to address other time periods or other kinds of shared experience of loss. At the time it was offered, we gave the workshop the following description:
This pandemic has produced so many losses—some devastating, others disruptive or disappointing. This workshop will provide a space to name our losses, both large and small, and also to name and articulate what we may be finding. In the spirit of narrative medicine, we will use reading, writing, and listening to acknowledge, absorb, interpret, and act on our own and others’ stories of what we have lost and found.
The audience for the workshop included Health Care Professionals, Patients, Caregivers, Artists, Scholars, and Students (15 to 25 people) and no previous preparation was expected of them. The outline provides time-markers for a 90-minute session.
