I drew this sketch a few weeks after baby Marc died. I just recently incorporated the drawing into this finished journal entry. |
I tore words that defined how I was feeling when I drew the picture out of an old dictionary. |
On July 5,2011 my husband and I said hello and goodbye to our beautiful son Marcus Alan Johnson Jr. In medieval times, alchemists sought the legendary substance known as the "philosopher's stone" said to be capable of turning lead into gold or silver. The alchemists also saw their work as a metaphor for the inner process of changing consciousness. Our grief has changed us. We are learning how to live again with a piece of our hearts missing.

How beautiful. Thanks for sharing your artwork. The one of you and your husband in a pool of tears is very lovely. What a gift to be able to portray your love for Baby Marc through your art.
