Death by Suicide

Grief Painter™:  Katherine
​Faciliator:  Faith Harrison

Katherine and her fiance worked for the VA on the suicide prevention hotline.  When her fiance, an 8 year air force veteran died by suicide, she was left shattered.  She came to paint her unrelenting sorrow.

Katherine's Words:

"I lost the love of my life 4 weeks ago to suicide. He had been struggling for many months and I lived those months in terror, fear, helplessness, confusion and love. I wanted to save him and was left completely abandoned to pick up the pieces of "what was" and "what will be". I travelled from New York to Wimberly, Texas to sit in my grief, feel the pain, but in a place of great safety.
 
​It was amazingly powerful to try to put colors and put words to the pain inside my body. It's hard to identify so soon. I dove into the pain, into Shane's favorite colors and found myself making the infinity sign or the number 8, the number of Shane's favorite football player. I let my mind go and just did. Amazing things were showing up in my painting that I never anticipated. It proved to me our spirits so deeply connected, which was something I was questioning over and over again after his death.

​I honor this process and the growth that takes place.
