When my husband passed away in March 2016 I felt abandoned, left behind to fend for myself. Now, leaving the year 2016 behind, I feel an easing of my grief. But I do not want to leave him behind; I want him always in my present. Perhaps I am getting near to that place where I can keep him close while moving forward.
Combining my current state of grief with my pastimes of art and gardening has produced this series. Please click on the image for a larger view.

Beautiful that you can make art through your grief. I’m sure it is therapeutic. I don’t see how you could ever leave him behind. I feel certain you carry him with you.
Happy New Year Lynne.
