Healing Verses. Michael Sudman's Story of Grief, Love, and Poetry
• 23 minIs it possible to express the pain of losing a soulmate through words? In this episode, I'm joined by the Family Law Attorney and Writer Michael Sudman. Michael started writing health updates to family and friends when his soulmate, Sheryl, got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. After Sheryl passed, Michael kept writing, yet he transformed those health updates into beautifully written poetry and (thankfully!) decided to keep sharing them. Using his incredible talent to resignify everyday observations into deep messages about life, love, grief, and healing, Michael shares his art with 240 people each day, and, through his spontaneous and heartfelt words, inspires others to find beauty, hope, and connection even in the darkest times. Throughout this episode, you'll hear about Michael's unique approach to coping with grief through daily writing and how he found solace, connection, and healing through his art. You'll also hear three beautiful poems written by Michael about optimism, life's unpredictability, and simplicity that represent perfectly how art, writing, and poetry are ideal tools for resignifying grief and much more. Tune in and listen to episode 264 of Grief and Happiness, and enjoy Michael's incredible talent to transform unique perspectives and ideas into a beautiful art form.
