Kenosis #2: This photo is about my disabled self trying to touch my former self. It's an attempt to remember who I was before my injury. It's not that I believe that I'm an entirely different person, but I do forget what it was like to be ablebodied. The more time passes the more I feel that former self of mine drifting away, like a hot air balloon swiftly into a gusty afternoon sky. A memory of who I was and who I am. A double-exposure.

Exploring the Mixed-Up Emotions of Grief: Art Activities for Kids
Most of you are grieving, so I don't have to tell you. You already know one of the saddest things about life after loss is that, with time, sensory memories like the sound of a loved one's voice, the smell of their clothes, or the feel of their arms wrapped around you start to fade. #grief #memory #griefmemory #sensorymemory #griefandloss #secondaryloss
