Faith Fuller Wilcox

Faith Fuller Wilcox believes that self-expression through writing leads to healing. Her writing is reflective of a growing body of medical research about “narrative identity,” which illuminates that how we make sense of what happens to us and the meaning we give to experiences beyond our control directly impact our physical and psychological outcomes. She leads a journal writing program at a pediatric hospital for patients and their families designed to give participants the opportunity to express themselves, alleviate stress, celebrate victories, and honor their grief. As a member of a pediatric hospital committee, she works with parents and medical staff to improve the lives of patients and their families. Faith is the author of Facing Into The Wind: A Mother’s Healing After the Death of Her Child, a book of poetry designed to be a companion to those who are on the journey of grieving and healing.
