Illustrations on how I am dealing with my own grief.

I’ve spent most of my life trying to “protect myself” from my emotions. I’m learning that sometimes the best thing is to just feel them.

I feel like I’m trying to quietly sneak past something, and it’s right around the next few bends. My brother’s birthday is coming.

It seems that my need for alone time to process my emotions tends to intensify the feeling of loneliness. So I’m working on understanding that even though the feeling is real, it’s not necessarily true.
