"This book illustrates the depths of my sorrow, the grief that was ever present – even when I was feeling joyful and happy. It speaks of a darkness that pulled me in, even when I didn’t want to go. Many years after having created these illustrations, I’ve added text in the hopes that this book will help others heal just as it helped me when I poured out my grief and joy, using chalk pastels — with abandon."
