Breathtakingly Haunting! and so,so Real!...I would have FF this without hesitation but somebody beat me to it!...I have had so many dark days after my sweet Ray passed away when this was and still sometimes describes perfectly how I feel whether in private behind closed doors or in conversation with someone who cares about me and wants to listen to my real inner feelings...Thank You! for creating this visual beauty! of contemplation,thought,pain,truth and reflection!...I hope you know that you are helping people feel that they are not alone through some of the darkest times in their lives...Thank You!...Hugs! always Rhonda... ... ...

@RJMJ Thank you, Rhonda. I really don't know what I would do without my art journaling practice. It really does help to get the tears flowing and the emotions out. I know you feel the same. And yes, hugs to you.

I hope you don't mind, but I'm linking you up with one of my more recent layouts. It references an analogy that I hope you will find helpful. It is one of the best ones I have found that explains grief.
