Marion Agnew - From Sorrow to Strength: How Grief Fuels Change

Do let us know what you found helpful - thank You!

Hello, and welcome to our podcast today. We will delve into the intriguing world of grief recovery and human connection. In today's episodes, we will explore a fictional book called Making Up the Gods, which is our guest Marion Agnew's latest book. I believe it was released later last year.

Making Up the Gods is a book about three grieving strangers: a widow, a young boy, and a middle-aged alcoholic. The book is set as a novel in Northern Ontario, and it will be interesting to see how the author has woven into the guest's journey as each navigates their grief.

This is the first time we're delving into grief in a fictional way, and it'll be interesting to see how the author has navigated it. The novel examines the past that can keep us from living in the future, which we know only too well for many of those on our own grief journeys, and how it's so easy to get caught up in the past.

I'm interested to see how the twists and turns of this unfold as they release their fears and hopefully teach us how we can release our own and move forward. So, I'm delighted to speak to our guest, Marion Agnew, from Northern Ontario. I'm quite envious that she has Lake Superior in her backyard.

This is Marion's second book. Her first one was Reverberations, A Daughter's Meditation on Alzheimer's.

 

Here's what we talk about:

• Marion's original intentions for the novel and how it evolved to focus on grief.
• The journeys of a widow, a young boy, and a middle-aged alcoholic as they navigate grief and find connection.
• The writing process and inspirations.
• How did writing the novel help Marion gain a deeper understanding of her own grief?
• And much more!
