It was an absolute honor to chat with Monica and Colby Charette on their Holding the Light podcast. We had an incredible conversation about grieving during the holidays, Camp Ray of Hope, writing through grief, and ways to support the loved ones in your life who are grieving. You can listen to the episode here. I'd encourage you to check out the Shine on Cass organization and all of the wonderful community and grief support work they are doing in memory of Cassidy.

I'm so thrilled to be collaborating with All Things Become New on a NEW Winter Writing Series coming this January! Have questions about signing up? Please reach out to Suzanne Morneault at [email protected] or (207) 540-5446. Questions about the series? Please send me an email at sarahkilchgaffneywriter(at)gmail.com.  I'll be working with MaineGeneral's Peter Alfond Prevention & Healthy Living Center to offer a number of writing workshops over the coming months. Writing for Better Health will be offered on 12/13 in Augusta and 1/14 virtually on Zoom; Writing through Grief will be on 2/11 in Waterville; and Writing for Helping Professionals will be offered on 3/6 in Augusta. More details below!  I'm thrilled to be featured on Christina Keys' Keys for Caregiving for National Caregivers Month. Christina and I met a little over a year ago at a caregiver retreat in Carrabassett Valley, Maine, and she is an incredible champion for caregivers all over the U.S. For this project, she asked several of the family caregivers she knows to put together a quick video and share a little about their story, what they currently do within the caregiver space, and a tip for supporting family caregivers in your life. You can see the entire collection of videos here, and you can learn more about Christina's work here.  I'm excited to be teaching a writing workshop for the upcoming Brain Injury Alliance of Vermont Conference in December. The conference is virtual, so you can join from anywhere! Learn more and register here.  The latest issue of my newsletter, the Red Eft, is here! It's got some scrumptious recipes (apple cider doughnuts! cheese and herb stuffed focaccia!), a feature on the writer and brain injury advocate David Grant, a new prompt, some reading recommendations, and some brain facts from Z. You can find the issue here.  Financial assistance is available, and you don't need to live in MaineGeneral's service area to register for this workshop!  All Things Become New and I are collaborating to offer a "Writing through Caregiving" workshop over Zoom on November 19, 2024. If you need any accommodations or the registration fee is a barrier, please reach out to Suzanne Morneault at All Things Become New at 207-540-5446.  I'm teaching a Writing for Better Health workshop through MaineGeneral's Peter Alfond Prevention & Healthy Living Center on October 17, 2024, 4:30-6:00 pm in Waterville, ME. We'll talk about the health benefits of a writing/journaling practice, explore some tips for incorporating writing into your life, and you'll also get to try out some writing prompts during the session. No writing experience is necessary, the cost is $15, and scholarships are available!
