True Friend

 I have never experienced this type of grief before.  I feel... sick. Nauseous. Weak. Angry. So very sad. It's just not fair. I am not sleeping well because I just can't turn my brain off.  My Crohn's is acting up due to the stress and I'm trying hard to take care of myself but it's so hard to do that when you just don't care. How can I care about taking care of myself when my grandbaby is gone? Just not freaking fair.

I'm trying to stay focused on anything at all just because the minute I stop, I find myself sobbing.  So I'm trying not to stop. And art truly is therapeutic to me - I colored yesterday, and it was soothing. I'll probably do a little more today, too. One day at a time, just like everything else, I guess.

I created my background by blending Villainous Potion & Twisted Citron Distress Oxide inks on watercolor paper, then spritzing with water. Once it dried, I stenciled some Black Soot Oxide ink in the corners. I stamped the sentiment from Woodware Crafts with Versafine Black and embossed with a clear sparkly embossing powder. I printed the Princess, Knight, and Dragon Meoples from All That Scraps (now CC Designs), colored with Copics & white pen, then fussy cut and attached with foam tape. Peace.
