Isolation Series: Lamentation

"Lamentation"
11x14 marker and ink on paper

Some days I want to howl at the moon. As a response to the acute grief of some dear friends this drawing emerged. Many people are struggling with death, dying, and loss in this Covid-19 season. The social and physical challenges of this pandemic complicate their lives on so many levels. I observe their sorrow, weep with them, and ache for their angsts. I cannot hug them, and that is a frustrating reality. I can offer my ears, my prayers, love, and support. And when they weep, I weep with them.

To those in the midst of suffering may you know you are not alone.
