I have come to recognize the importance of one’s narrative, the reliving, recounting and reclaiming of one’s life and one’s experiences (Bowman, Citation1999, Wright, Citation2002)
Narratives temporarily suspend time by remembering who or what was lost and facilitate the process of grieving as we simultaneously try to make meaning of the past while facing a less certain more tenuous future.
