Darian Leader

‘Living with a loss is what matters, and artists and writers show us the many different ways in which this can be done.’


Psychoanalyst and author, Darian Leader explains how creatve works like poetry, drama and literature can help us get through sad times.  Artists respond to the frustration and sadness of a loss – quotes, movies and poems show us the universal nature of loss.  In other words show us how we all feel like crap when we breakup!


The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun.

The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies
When love is done.

Francis William Bourdillon
