How creative therapies help bereaved Hongkongers process unspoken grief

Christina Lau Siu-mui finds solace in art therapy after the loss of her mother to cancer. Through creating a wooden box adorned with a painted tranquil sky and a vibrant meadow, she expresses her grief and maintains a connection to her late mother. This creative outlet serves as a powerful means of emotional expression for Lau, allowing her to feel close to her mother again.

Lau's journey into art therapy began at the HKCCCU Kwong Yum Care Home, where her mother was cared for before passing away. Reflecting on her previous experience with grief, Lau acknowledges that her earlier loss of her father left her with unresolved emotions due to the demands of life at that time. This time, through art, she has learned to process her feelings and find relief, transforming her sorrow into a form of healing and reconciliation.
