In this heart-opening episode of Soul Sparks, host Saima welcomes back the luminous Sheila K. Collins—award-winning author, grief advocate, and creator of The Art of Grieving. Together, they explore how grief is not just endured but expressed, healed, and transformed through creativity. Sheila shares her deeply personal journey of losing two adult children and how she discovered healing through storytelling, dance, ritual, and art-making. Listeners are invited to reframe grief as a sacred process—one where sorrow becomes song, pain becomes poetry, and mourning becomes meaning.
About the Guest:
Sheila K. Collins is an acclaimed author, social worker, and performer who has transformed personal tragedy into a universal message of hope. After losing both a son to AIDS and a daughter to breast cancer, she turned to the expressive arts to process her grief. Through her work in InterPlay and her bestselling book The Art of Grieving: How Art and Art Making Help Us Grieve and Live Our Best Lives, she empowers others to find healing through creative rituals, storytelling, and movement.
Key Takeaways:
Grief is not linear—it’s an emotional, spiritual, and artistic journey.
Storytelling, dance, and even crafting can become powerful tools for processing loss.
You don’t need to be an artist—creative expression is a birthright and a healing force.
Grief should not be bypassed; it must be felt, expressed, and honored.
Communities can create supportive rituals—offline and online—to hold space for grief.
