In this episode of The Grief Lounge, Sadie sits down with artist Natalia Millman to explore how grief can be expressed and reimagined through creativity. Natalia shares the story behind her powerful project, Letters to Forever — an upcoming exhibition in St Albans that brings together 215 personal letters written by people about their grief. Through her creative process, Natalia transforms these words into visual pieces, allowing memory, sorrow, and love to take shape in ways that go beyond words.

Together, they reflect on what it means to feel seen in grief, the quiet strength in expressing pain, and the connection that comes from shared stories. Natalia also talks about losing her father in 2019, how that shaped her work, and how her earlier exhibition at the Crypt Gallery in London led to this next chapter.

The exhibition will also include daily workshops — from grief yoga to clay-making, offering a gentle and creative space for people to show up with whatever they’re carrying.

This is a tender and honest conversation about grief, creativity, and what it means to make something meaningful from loss, for anyone who’s ever searched for a way to say the unsayable.
