Grinding grief vs. good grief


I've felt this way... but in actuality it is a painted myth. I'm feel pretty good today knowing I am moving through the terrain. Both my sons are visiting and I woke early to pick bowls of blackberries for them.Divorce document #24 in a series of individual 5 x 5 inch mixed media paintings with found headlines.

  1. I was just thinking this morning that I am going to put Endorphine Index and Addiction Archive on hiatus from my blog and do 2 new online lists, Grateful For and Grieving For. I like how you do Grateful For - nothing Pollyanna about it - and you are a role model for expressing grief in creative ways.

  2. Yah- I hope the "Grateful for" list is helping me- I think so... the "Grieving for" is a good idea too... thanks for sharing!

  3. I really love your work.

    When I was going through my divorce with my first husband I kept a gratitude journal. It really helped me keep things in perspective.

    I need to do that again. It is amazing how much we have to be grateful daily, even if it is just to be grateful that the day is done.

    All the best,

    Maria

  4. There IS a lot to be thankful for, and making a list as a daily chore helps me dig it out when I can't readily see it... thank you for looking and commenting. Thank you for at least hinting you went through this and GOT through this too.
