220: Grief & Life
Description
Happy Father’s Day people,
I (B.R) have a heavy and deeply personal one to share, it’s been three weeks since my wife and I lost our little girl. It’s hard to write those words, but part of healing is sharing with your community what you’re going through. The Art and War Podcast ground to a halt and not everyone knew what was going on, and it was easier to talk it out than anything else after some time away. This episode won’t be for everyone, but hearing others talk through their experience with losing a child has helped us work through this darkest of times, so hopefully for anyone else dealing with grief and loss, this will be of some value to them.
A big thank you to all those who have sent messages, prayers and love our way. I’ve been a hermit and I need to reply to you lovely people, but I’ve been just surviving the initial period of mourning with my wife.
A very special thank you to the talented FV for this art of my tiny daughter in my hands drawn from a photo, this was a heavy piece for him to draw up on short notice and he did it justice.
It’s weird to share something like this on here, but it would be weirder to just continue without acknowledging this with my community. This has been the most intense few weeks of our lives, and we’re coping as well as we can, but it’s going to take time to heal.
Regular Art and War will be back next week with a great episode on Flock cameras, but this week, a more solemn episode.
