----- Original Message ----- From: "Gail Rosen" To: Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2001 7:32 PM Subject: Re: [HEALINGSTORY] storytellers I use story in working with grief and bereavement. There are similarities I think (when we are ill, we are grieving our health and our ability to depend on our bodies) and so I would add another therapeutic use to your list Andre. That would be helping the patient to integrate this experience into her/his life story, in other words, to make or find meaning in this part of his/her story.
