Praise for Love & Loss
Direct, honest and emotionally sensitive Love & Loss is a candid exploration. Monica Suswin finds an intimate voice for the therapeutic exploration of her experience and engagement with writing. Love & Loss is also alive with creative ideas for writers and workshop leaders of all kinds.
Dr Lisa Dart, writer
Why should I invade my own privacy? Monica Suswin asks in a humorous way. And the response is clear: our own vulnerability, written down, but then also edited with care becomes a gift for others who all share the human experience of love, loss, and the precious insights that articulating lived experience brings.
The exercises in this book are fun, clever, and entertaining. On Love and Loss, if used to reflect and do one’s own writing, will certainly bring personal insight and support the cultivation of self-trust — which is exactly what is needed to trust love.

Extract from the Introduction
With reflection it looks as if I have at times wandered off piste with my theme. Yet this is the joy of the unknown adventure, going with an unerring trust of how Writing unfolds and reveals itself. If Writing was a character, I would think of a cartographer: one that has taken charge of its own life in this mini-book. I feel I have been on a meander around a map of his or her own making.
