Drawings and captions from a year of grief after the loss of my mama. The works in this book revolve around dealing with the grief of that loss, along with a lifetime of related grief that grew out of past traumas, sorrows, abuses, and dysfunction. Additionally, these works reflect the work trying to reconcile years of hurt and grief with the love, good memories, and deep feelings that it was all interwoven with.
