Today in Graphic Medicine, I presented on the graphic memoir Lighter Than My Shadow by Katie Green. It's a beautifully crafted text about surviving trauma and how we process it. The text starts with a preface from the author, saying how the text was meant to be the book she needed while she was suffering. Ultimately, it's a text about the transformative stages of coping, and how writing can provide the catharsis to help progress the steps of healing. Reading this during such troubling times felt comforting, like the author was looking out for me. I haven't written a new blog post in a while (for reasons that will be addressed another time), but maybe writing is a good place to start as we try to make sense of all of this madness. If you share your story, I promise to listen. . #graphicmemoir #katiegreen #lighterthanmyshadow #graphicmedicine #catharsis #reading #academiclife #writing #writersofinstagram #drawersofinstagram #writerslife #blogger #checkoutmyblog #wordpress #seekinginfinitejest
