It described beautifully the agony of bringing into the circle our very own words from our very own life experiences. What I love about the AWA method is the safety it offers with the use of "the narrator" even though it's awkward at first. I, too, felt that same almost out-of-body feeling when I first began to write in a group. And then the healing that came with the tender regard I felt by other writers is equally powerful. I have wandered through grief by writing, and I am so grateful you will be doing a bereavement writing group for our hospice. Thanks, Pat Hi, Pam

Your writing is wonderful and I love the look of the web page. Slick layout, great photo. I actually sat in on a workshop with Genie Zeiger a few weeks ago so reading your description was very familiar. It is quite an experience, sitting in a room with strangers, writing and reading what you've written. I felt quite shy but I got through it. I believe what you said is very true, writing about something helps you get perspective, and helps you survive. It's wonderful that you've decided to share your work like this. Thanks. Ellen Pam,
