Card Making - Freshly Made Sketches #622

 

Art Journal - LIGHT

 

Recently my soul sister has gone through a major loss in her life, one that has left her with wonder, questions and the feeling of her love just wasn't enough. You see she was taken in by these two wonderful souls late in life, and many times she would see her own grandmother in this woman. She always thought this woman was brought into her life from her heavenly grandmother since it was soon after she had passed that she found these two Jerry and Jeananne. After 20 year of love and friendship dear Jerry passed away this passed December. She new she would not have Jeananne for long after Jerry, but hopped that she would see there was still joy and life within her. We had so many of our own adventures planned, which included her. Jeananne died a few days ago from a broke heart. Unfortunately my soul sister found her, she was sitting in her recliner wearing her favorite purple sweat set looking like she was taking the best nap ever.  

My art journal this week is of pain, sadness and being lost. 

They say grief is an ugly thing and someone does not truly get to the tail end of it until 7 years in, so I will be creating a list of places to see for my soul sister who plans on spreading the ashes of Jeananne with wildflowers.  OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS!
