Writing Through Grief with Novelist Piper Punches

Loss, heartache, major life changes, pain are all part of the human condition. Nobody escapes dealing with the hard and painful stuff. My guest this week, novelist Piper Punches, works through her heartache on the page and through her characters that somehow end up navigating similar challenges to what she's navigating. She's done this both intentionally and unintentionally as she discovered looking back at her body of work. This episode is not about journaling or working through your grief on the page in that way. Instead, it's about how writing fiction and stories can help us with grief.
