One of my greatest tools has been creating. Moving through grief has been so different for me this time around. I became so stagnant after my Papa passed, which compounded when we lost my dear Uncle Karl. I had lost the will to create because I couldn’t see any value in putting things into the world that I couldn’t share with the people I lost, men who were part of my support system and always encouraged me so deeply along with the rest of my family. Then we lost Alex, who was always rooting for me & so deeply supportive of everything I did. Then losing Ward, my mentor, so soon after my brother. He was a man who was an Uncle to me and he was so pivotal in my career as an artist.
I realized the best that I can do, is do.
Do for those who can’t anymore, do for my own process, and do so I have stories to tell them when we met again.
