its been half a year since my son died
i think i am over the worst of the grief
and then i have a day like today
that jerks me all the way back
and runs away with my breath
I think it is breathtakingly beautiful, and such a powerful image. There is such power in this light that defies how small it is compared to the darkness.
Thank you for having the courage to share this Kali. You're supported more than you know - only 2 days ago Mrs S asked if I knew how you were coping... now I can update her and she will update the prayer that I know she says for you regularly. I like Maggie's @snaphappi words and hope that they might bring you some comfort.
I didn't know this about you. I lost my daughter when she was 4. I think your image is exceptional in conveying the emotion. You are in my thoughts going forward.
Oh Kali, don´t know what to say but that I want to hug you! So complelling powerful image and especially with those words and meaning. I hope the light will soon enter your life and it will, trust that life will someday again be easier, let the time pass and do its work. There will always be difficult days every once and a while but they too shall pass. Hugs!
Sometimes the mind can be so mean with thoughts and memories. Looks like you captured your feelings with this shot. Hope can you have some brighter days.
@maggiemae yes, and without the anaesthetic of shock to filter it now @overalvandaan i had to let you know :) @vera365 thanky0u Vera, i do think it conveys a lot of what I was feeling @juliedduncan thankyou lovely lady @voiceprintz generally i am , but every now and again it creeps up, @jack4john it certainly helps to share what I am feeling and letting you all know, because I receive so much love in return, thankyou
@snaphappi Maggie that is just the most beautiful passage, thankyou so much for sharing it, I dont think you are godless, its debatable what we mean when we say god but if that force is anything it is creative compassion and you shared just that.
@ingrid2101 must have been during your long brak for 365 you can find out more at the end of my other album....thankyou, you never know what its like til it happens to you thats for sure
@vignouse thankyou both very much, your comment is truly touching. I think it is only in the presense of true compassion that we can really let go to our feelings, and your comment really made me cry so you did that for me. please share a lovely hug with your Mrs S
@susale thankyou gorgeous girl
generally I think I am very strong and know I can cope with this, but events kind of triggered post traumatic stress I think, it was good in that I didnt have to even know exactly what was making me sad I could just be sad and express it and come out the other side, it feels like a good thing .
@kali66 If it feels like a good thing I believe it is bound to be a good thing in the end and it is always a good to get feelings out and not burry them inside just as long you can handle them. Just hang in there and the sun will shine once more someday for I believe you are indeed strong. My thoughts are with you, hugs!
A beautiful, dramatic, haunting picture. I've found that with grief, you can go along feeling quite normal for a while, and then suddenly it hits you all over again like a fist coming out of the blue. I think that's normal too, but I am so sorry you have to go through this. Thinking of you.
@tristansmum yes, its the first time I have had to go through this kind of thing, i am finding you are right and others have said the same, so i expect it, and try not to feel guilty when I dont feel it
I have a close friend going through the same grief although it has only been 2 weeks for her. It is hard to find words when one has never gone through such pain. They say that time heals. I don't know, but I see light in the distance.
@colie thankyou for your visit and comments, I do hope you really are back now, I love seeing what you do with artist challenges ;-)
you didnt go back far enough to see what has been going on for me the last while so I thought I would let you know this way.
Kali, You had looked at one of my pics today 08-12-2015 so I visited your site and your photos are amazing. You have endured great loss yet you have a beautiful way of releasing your emotions with your photos. By the time I was done looking I was emotional and very drawn to your strength and your amazing photos! My prayers are with and your family! This picture signifies that there is light on the horizon!!
@marymacaroni thankyou mary, this site helps me a great deal

This is an extract from a poem I wrote about loss - being a godless person, it helped me to write it, so I hope it makes some sense to you.
Now you must trust that all his being,
and all his thoughts will now reside
on the edge of quantum darkness
to light your mind, to teach, to guide.
@vera365 thanky0u Vera, i do think it conveys a lot of what I was feeling
@juliedduncan thankyou lovely lady
@voiceprintz generally i am , but every now and again it creeps up, @jack4john it certainly helps to share what I am feeling and letting you all know, because I receive so much love in return, thankyou
