AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This article discusses my research into how our worldview shapes our experience of grief and loss in relation to death and dying and how, using the methodology of practice-led research, I wrote a novella, ‘If the sky should fall’. The purpose of the novella is to explore grief from a comparative perspective of Atheism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism and New Age spirituality, and to explore worldviews through the lens of grief. The novella was submitted as my creative artefact for the degree of Masters of Creative Arts, Creative Writing, at the University of the Sunshine Coast.' (Publication abstract)
