About Cheryl Fauersø Nix
Cheryl’s chapter is about how she put off dealing with her grief after her father died when she was 19 years of age. The depression and PTSD experienced from his sudden death started to negatively affect her life. Her father had been a huge influence in her life. After being shot down over Germany during WWII he spent 21 months in prison camp, mostly Stalag Luft III. His love of music and singing in the Catholic choir there seemed to sustain him. She did seek out a licensed clinical social worker who helped her to deal with her struggles. Then drawing on her father’s love of music, she found ways to use music as a tool for her grief.
