ABSTRACT
The HIV/AIDS pandemic has, since the early to mid-1980s, left more than 40 million people infected worldwide, more than 20 million dead, and many more millions who are affected by it in one way or another, from widows left to support their families to orphans who have no family left at all. In this context, grief is ever-present, and healing seems a challenge almost beyond measure. The good news is that the human spirit, ever undaunted, is alive and well and living in the artistry and creativity which has been applied to address HIV/AIDS, not only in terms of prevention and education, but also with regard to grief and healing, struggle and transcendence.
