Some of you already know that I recently lost my husband. These last months have been filled with a range of emotions as I struggle through my grief. Working in my garden and on my photographs seem to be two things that totally occupy my mind providing a bit of respite from trying to come to terms with, and redefine, my life. Combining my current state with these two pastimes has produced this series.

Thank you, Ruth in Pittsburgh. Strangers reaching out from places far away is as comforting in its own way as the hugs from my friends here at home. Keeps me aware that there is a world out there in which I need to stay engaged.

Your photo sums it up – what life is like after losing a loved one. Shattered. Yet time passes, the pain grows less sharp, and slowly, slowly the pieces begin to fit together again. Hugs.
