Art & Grief

The photo is of my coworker, Jim, who passed away two weeks ago. As a Vietnam Veteran, this picture with President Bush was of one of Jim’s proudest moments. It was always up in his work cubicle. 

The other is the painting my friend/coworker/boss, Lonnie Spikes, also a war veteran, completed and shared with his/our staff last week as a memorial. Lonnie paints to express his feelings. I write essays. Both are incredible expressions of grief and caring. 


I find it astonishing.
