SF&F Picture 12 out of 34 by Martin Reichelt.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Let go

Did you ever have the feeling to be completely helpless? The day the first of my grandfathers died I felt that way. It was not the loss of him, it was to watch my grandmother who couldn’t understand why her husband was taken from her after more then 50 years together, exactly at the day of his 85. birthday. Having a medium state of Alzheimer, my grandmother forget about his death about all 10-15 minutes, going through the pain of loss again and again. Even now, after so many weeks she isn’t fully aware of what happened. Being my grandmother, I gave her somewhat the same colouring as me, just made her more draft like and a non mythical to fit her better irl. I made myself a lot of thoughts about death and the loss of loved ones in the following time…

30 Jul 2003	Keetsie Joy	Loading... That's a heartbreaking story about your grandmother. Seeing as this picture was posted about a year ago, I really hope she's had time to recover from her loss. Your drawing is beautiful. A perfect metaphor for letting go of pain and memories.
3 Aug 2003	Chris, the Skeptic Psycho	Loading... I love your pic. Sorry about your grandfather, mine died about a month ago... he had lived through so much. Luchemia, several transplants, a hip replacement, and even being hit by a car. After all this, he died peacefully one Sunday afternoon... my grandmother is also going through a hard time, because they were soulmates. This picture captures a lot of emotion. Remember, you may let go... but you will never forget.
