Grief Hack, A Creative Process for Transforming Loss, written by award-winning author Madonna Treadway, is a short, inspirational guide that walks readers through a unique creative process that can transform the experience of grief and loss into profound, life-altering realizations. Using a four-step process, Treadway shows readers how to access the power of their imagination and engage in the healing force of their creativity to playfully reimagine their grief. On the other side of their loss, readers will find a way to connect with a rich inner life. In this powerful book, Treadway asks the question, "Are you curious enough to turn what you believe about loss upside down?" If so, she asks us to open the pages, dive into our imagination, and transform our grief into guidance.
