About the Workshop
Love’s Labor is a writing workshop for mothers who have known loss. Whether you’ve lost a pregnancy, a child, or someone or even something else, this day is for putting words to the unspoken. Taking inspiration from prose writers who’ve written movingly about loss, we will access our own memories and make them accessible to others. Love’s Labor is open to any mother who feels the urge to write.
