S3 Ep9 - Mary Beven – Finding Words for Grief FINAL

Welcome to the Life and Loss Podcast. In our last conversation, Mary shared her personal journey of grief following the loss of her husband, Eric. Today, we’re exploring how she found comfort in writing, particularly poetry, and how creative expression can help us navigate loss.

For many, grief feels impossible to put into words. But for Mary, poetry became a way to process emotions, find meaning, and help others.
