The Ties That Bind Us, the Shadows That Separate Us

Life and Death, Shadow and (Dream)Story

University of North Carolina–Greensboro

This is an autoethnographic account of a family's struggle to respond to a series of tragic losses and to fend off the encroaching shadowthat descended on them in their grief. The story unfolds as a study of the redemptive power of story to penetrate the shadows of collective grief and speaks to the possibility of healing from tragedy through the fusion of dream and story into a new nexus of possibility.

Key Words: death • dream • family • grief • shadow
