"Not Saying Goodbye" was created during the month following my youngest daughter's passing. She passed unexpectedly, and it left my world in chaos and my heart shattered into a million pieces. The grief was overwhelming and all-consuming for the days immediately following her transition. I lost my passion for painting, until one afternoon, when I was searching for something that could connect me to her. I had taught her to draw, and for us both, art was therapy. It was a way to work through emotions that felt too heavy. I have been intuitively painting what I feel as I wonder where she is, what it looks like, what she is doing. As a mother, my heart has a piece that will forever be lost, but I will never say goodbye. I believe she is with me every day. Each painting in this collection holds a place that is eternal and beautiful, beyond our human imaginations. I believe my hands are intuitively guided by my daughter's as I create the painting in this collection.
This painting is part of my collection, “The Journey”, in which I have been intuitively painting what I feel as I wonder where she is, what it looks like, what she is doing. Each painting in this collection holds a place that is eternal and beautiful, beyond our human imaginations. I believe my hands are intuitively guided by my daughter's as I create the paintings in this collection. There are so many things we just don’t know, yet there are also many people who have shared experiences that offer us a glimpse into what might be on the other side. I don’t know the answers, of course, but I am trusting what I feel in my heart. I have found my curiosity compels me to continue allowing my intuition and feelings to guide my creative process as I add to this collection.
To all those who have had their life forever changed by the passing of someone dear to them, I hope this painting brings you a sense of hope, joy and peace, and a knowing that your loved one is not lost, only reborn into a space of perfect love. They hear you, they are with you, and the connection you shared cannot be destroyed. I hope that through my grieving mom heart, opening my intuition and right brain to be guided by energy beyond this world, that I can bring other bereaved parents and families messages of love from the Other Side. All my love to you.
