Grief
Grief I - VII
"Humanity needs to reawaken to the divine, the spiritual, the heart of what compels us to act as we do. If we do not reclaim the lost art of grieving, listening to our bodies and embracing, rather than suppressing our feelings, then we risk death. Death of body, death of soul, death of spirit; for we cannot love if we cannot feel. Do not be afraid to plunge into the depths of what makes you who you are, for in doing so there is great freedom."
------Jennifer Peters
Jennifer's work as an artist is indelibly woven into the fabric of her story; a story that includes overcoming great loss. The seed of this grief was planted within a legacy of abuse, stretching back for generations within her family of origin. Documenting and sharing her healing journey helped the artist overcome the abuse she suffered, however this subsequent peace was once again shaken to the core following the unexpected death of her son Anthony in 2018. Jennifer found much hope in the stories of other courageous people, who were brave enough to risk transparency and share their stories through the written word. It is her hope that sharing a glimpse into her own journey will enable others to realize they are not alone.
