Description
I've had this piece on my computer for a long time now sitting unfinished, I decided it was about time to finally complete it.Last year I had to attend the funeral of my cousin's infant child...
It was hard saying goodbye to someone I never had a chance to meet or get to know, and seeing that tiny coffin...it truly was terrible.
I had drawn this piece at my desk afterwards as a way to cheer myself up.

I think I understand the feeling. I had an uncle whom I never did get a chance to properly meet, but mom would always talk stories of how he doted over me when I was but a newborn, showering me with gifts and even becoming my personal "nanny" throughout my first few months of life. He was murdered by an armed robber shortly after I turned 1, and I spent the rest of my toddler years never even knowing he existed. I only found out once I was already old enough to understand the darker aspects of human life... and it was then that it came to me... a longing sense of emptiness. I still look at old pictures of him from time to time, wondering what could've been...Β
I can't quite put it into words, but your artwork captures the feeling of wistfulness and quiet, gentle mourning we experience through being reminded of our departed loved ones. Bittersweet, yet still beautiful in its own way.Β

Goodness, I'm sorry to hear about your uncle. It truly must have been hard to learn about his fate once you got older...
It's good to hear that you still keep his memory alive by looking over old pictures of him.
I'm honored that you feel my artwork has those attributes, thank you.Β

I am so sorry it's always just a sad sight to see... I also attended my friend's baby brother funeral. It was so weird for me to see at the time because I was a child myself and I couldn't comprehend loss very well. I had just seen her baby brother and seemed to be well even tho he was hooked up to a machine when I visited them. Then seeing him not moving in the coffin was something I really couldn't fathom. I remember feeling such terrible sadness but couldn't understand why and then I said to my parents "look, he's breathing. He's just asleep." Yet tears were streaming down my face.
As I got older, I got what it meant.
Again, I'm sorry for the loss and really great capture of the atmosphere.

I've not had to face such a thing, but I know a friend who did.Β I can't personally imagine what it would feel like...such pain and loss for someone so young and small...I'm so sorry that you had to go through it at the times.
Your artistic representation of it is quite beautiful however; very soothing and comforting to such a painful moment.Β The angel, the little lamb, the overall glow; it's hard to find words to describe the peace that I feel this art brings.
Once again, I'm sorry for the loss you had to experience, but I feel you managed to capture the pain of the moment and turn it into something beautifully peaceful.

Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate it.
My cousin and his wife had been looking forward to being parents but unfortunately there were complications during birth and the child didn't make it.
It feels terrible knowing there is nothing you can say or do to relieve the pain someone you care about is going through. I guess all I can really do is just try my best to be there for them.
I'm happy you like my piece, I'm glad I took the time to finally finish it.Β

I truly hate it when there is so much chaos or misery going around to those I care about, and feeling like I can't do anything to help, no matter how hard I try or say.
However, not giving up and trying your best, is still key in the long run of things.
It was well worth your going back to the artwork; truly a sentimental piece.Β

Hey, Cleopatrawolf. I'm truly sorry for your loss. I hope things are better now. I cannot begin to imagine how hard it must have been for your cousin and you. Death is never easy, especially when it's a child. Even if it's been a year, know that my best wishes go to the two of you.
I can see how this picture could make you feel better. I can feel both sadness and hope from it. It show that life is sometimes sad and painful. We see those that are close to us leave for another place and we see those that are left behind mourn and cry. But still, life goes on, and we see little joys and smiles again. And no matter how much time passes, we keep the memories alive in our hearts. Sorry. I'm a bit emotional, here. But your picture convert such emotions it was impossible not too.Β
It's truly a beautiful work of art. I hope it wasn't too difficult to finish it and that it gave you some peace.
Have a good evening.Β

Thank you volcaniclord, I appreciate your kind and encouraging words.
My cousin and his wife were so excited about becoming parents but sadly there were complications during child birth and he didn't make it.
It felt terrible knowing there was nothing I could say or do to relieve the pain they were going through.
I'm happy you like my piece and you could feel the emotion behind it, and I'm glad I took the time to finally finish it.

Sorry for your loss.
I bet it was really painful, especially since the one who died was very young.
