Words Fail
I found this piece by Curzan helpful in thinking about how to move
beyond the place of having no words to process the difficult events we
see everyday to finding the language to do so. This is also helpful to think about with our non-native speaking writers. It might not be an issue of language that's preventing them from writing about difficult events; it might be the events themselves. http://chronicle.com/blogs/linguafranca/2016/07/13/words-fail/
