Jasmin RIP

A beautiful tribute to your daughter Joanne, sure hope in time you manage to paint away some of that pain and find peace…

oxo

Many hugs…....

Hope the pain is turned into something positive soon

Is this your daughter?

Words can’t help, but my condolances anyway. I have two daughters of my own.

_{I have a story I’d like you to read Joanne, would you like me to send it to you to read in private before I publish it? Just in case you’d rather I didn’t publish it? Although to be fair, it is my story, not yours, but you know, sometimes dots connect… It’s a really twisted, tragic story, all true, definitely no fairytale with a fairytale ending, but it shows the flow of bitter-sweet tide and time… It might be something that’ll either make or break you… sometimes you get so desensitised to the pain nothing penetrates any more, you know? Anyhow, Let me know what you think, okay?}

I really love where Jasmin is evolving. She is looking even happier. Perhaps she is sending you energy to help develop her image.

Sent.

much love Joanne.

you have captured so much in her …..her eyes are angelic ….I pray for your journey ..my best to you…. stunning and beautiful portrait

this is beautiful, i hope each time you paint her that your soul rests a lil more easy. what a wonderful idea. I am really touched by what you are doing..if only everyone could put thier sorrows into something so worthwhile and meaningful…

My deepest condolences Joanne. I hope with all my heart that you find the forgiveness that will bring you peace and allow you to live again. A beautiful tribute to a beautiful angel…. love to you.

chere Joanne,
what a brave, beautiful, and lovable woman you are…
Your painting of Jasmin is so , well no words here really, ..emotional.. maybe , would describe how I feel looking at her.[or the tears running down my cheeks….]
One thing I learned about death is that we keep love alive by staying alive ourselves and honoring how we feel. I have a lot to learn from you, I ‘m not even close to be able to paint my feelings about such deep sorrow.
with much love to you,
Margot

This is a very touching and poignant photograph. I just paired an image with a narrative titled Lifetimes dealing with some wonderful books that explain death to children in a creative and soothing way. If you have any more children or extended family these books are very helpful. I also included Elizabeth Kubler Ross’ classic for adults on Death and Dying, an eloquent description of the stages of the grief cycle. I am so sorry for your loss. The image often gets cut off so the piece Lifetimes is also in the writing section. Art is very healing and I believe doing this series is an important way to process the profound loss of your daughter as the process of mourning her loss changes the the evolution of grief. You are a very courageous woman and I admire your
working out the pain through the active process of your touching artwork and writing.

superb….....

A wonderful tribute

Art heals

I am so sorry…I wish you peace.

this is just beautiful Joanne…. touching and powerful…... lovely work

This was such a gripping and emotional piece to take in , it made me shiver, I admire it very much,
I feel the childs soul reaching out and sending a message ,that you shudn t worry, she is well ,where she is, I am very sorry for your loss, the loss of a small child must hurt enormously.

HI – back

A very emotional yet beautiful piece of art. I love the paint runs, to me they show your grief and tears. I cannot begin to understand what you must be going through. I hope you will soon find peace.

I think it will look great. amazing idea and concept

Congratulations on your MIA feature

I just read what you wrote about your daughter and your painting and how you feel … I too lost my child when he was almost an adult but still a child to me … his killer went unfound until about 17 years later when he walked into a police station and turned himself in … no charges were brought against him .. now before you feel any farther … my son was no angel and the circumstances of his death were cloudy to say the least .. only those who were there know what really happened … I never accepted the hate I could have had for the man who shot my son and the pain and grief went away as I realized I was not here on earth to waste my life grieving for something I had lost . life goes on and must go on … it is not that I don’t love my son and remember him .. his good and bad … and yes he’s my son but he also was/is his own self as we are also … I let it go .. the pain, the anger, the grief, the why’s and why not’s … everything … and I lived not hidden behind a curtain of anger and tears and honored my son’s life by living my own with as much wonder and joy as I can …. I hope someday you’ll be able to put aside what happened at the end of her life and remember and enjoy your memories and what’s even more important … enjoy and celebrate your own life (big smile and huggz)

and I also want to congratulate you on your work being featured at MIA (big big smile)

Congrats on MIA featuring…..

This is a sensational piece

I hope you find peace

wonderful work, my heart goes out to you, i wish you peace

such sadness,but your work does her honour

How tragic, and what a beautiful painting in her honor, although through the strokes of your brush we can see your pain, you will never forget, time can only heal small rifts but you do her great justice and I am brought to tears by your story, Much Love…
