Ambiguous blue-grey background with orange accents. In the top right quadrant and orange egg shape is surrounded by black wooden sticks in a fence formation, as if to hold it in place. At the lower edge, similar sticks appear, some broken and some falling over, as if something escaped. Cold wax finish covers the whole painting.

I thought I would die. No — I wanted to die. How could I go on after this tragedy? How could I live with this huge hole in my heart?
I re-lived every step and watched for the signs... Did I miss something? I woke every day thinking it was all a bad dream that didn’t really happen.
“Hey God, remember me? Can we talk? I’ve got an idea I want to run by you...” I created elaborate scenarios and made bargains with God: If this, then that. You can do that, right?

Today I honor my pain. For all that was taken from me, now it fills me. My pain is my touchstone, it keeps me grounded. The “hole” now makes me “whole”.
