Reflecting on grief

While our child knows how to play and create, our earliest self knows grief and sorrow too, and knows how to express it. Using the non-dominant hand bypasses a lot of our social rules processing, and lets us tap directly into that child-like core of ourself. Sometimes, it doesn't feel okay to express our grief, or we don't have a safe way to get started.
Using the technique of drawing and writing with your non-dominant hand, to get to a place of your feelings, let the dominant hand ask the question "Why are you sad, what is your loss?"

With your non-dominant hand and crayons, write or draw your answer.

Then, the dominant hand can ask the question, "what would comfort you or make you feel better?"
