Brokenness Infused in a Mother's Heart: The Art of Living with the Sacredness of Life
-
- Author / Creator
- Maria Hutton Aldcorn

This paper charts the process of moving through the trauma of the loss of my adult child to murder. A heuristic in-depth self-inquiry methodology complements the phenomenological art therapy process I engaged in to accomplish this work. A depth of peace in brokenness emerged from dialogue with the divine, expressed through art, writing, and the images that arrived in nature. Art therapy facilitated a recognition and embrace of the coexistence of life and death in daily existence.
