Grief

Creating a transitional object during grief offers a powerful way to process and honour loss. By giving tangible form to emotions that are often too complex for words, the act of making becomes a ritual of remembrance, allowing individuals to externalize their pain and reclaim a sense of agency. Each choice—material, shape, texture—invites reflection and meaning, transforming the creative process into a personal threshold between what was and what is now. These objects serve as containers for memory, connection, and continuity, helping to integrate grief rather than erase it. Far from seeking closure, the making of such an object offers a way to live with loss, marking the beginning of a new chapter where sorrow, love, and identity can coexist.
