What's New from the WATER Staff..
Seasons of Healing: Journaling and Resources
by Diann L. Neu
The healing journey is colorful, evolving, and precious. It touches people individually and communally. Inspired by women with cancer and their loved ones who found “Seasons of Survival” beneficial, WATER has created this second collection in our “seasons” series, “Seasons of Healing: Journaling and Resources.”
This packet of cards is meant to accompany women dealing with life-threatening illness and / or loss. The cards are designed to foster healing through diverse modes of writing, art, holistic activities and rituals, and suggested tools and tips for coping. These resources can help you become better in tune with yourself and those around you on the healing journey.
