chapter 2

condolences

quality time was the most helpful

although the kind words flooded in

the friends that sat with me

those who listened to my music and watched me paint

they were the ones that truly helped


my friend Kyle is cool and I really like him. He hung out with me a lot during this grief journey and helped me understand how I feel.

my bff Deven who is so encouraging and kind. He came to my house many times and cried in my driveway while listening to Reid’s perspective and gave space and is just the best.

this is Korie. I started painting this a long time ago but didn’t make much progress and ended up completely changing it. I found something during this painting that made me want to cry because of the joy it brought me.

my oldest kiddo. I started this one maybe 5 years before it was complete. Moving my body was so helpful during grief moments.

the love of my life and I as old people because who doesn’t want that. They are my favorite person and idk if I could’ve gotten through this without them.
