Rain – Embracing Our Humanity
This section invites you to reflect on the importance of self-acceptance and the emotions that shape our lives.

we create our own afflictions,”

In contrast, the Rainbow section uplifts your spirit, focusing on self-love and recognizing your inherent worth.

An Illustrated Ode to Grief, Sorrow, Loss, Pain, Resilience, and Healing.
After losing my daughter Maja, I sought out an outlet for the waves of emotions I suffered in the aftermath of my tremendous loss. I created this illustrated book using words I combined from Henry Scott Holland’s moving writings about grief. This extended version joins Holland’s The King of Terror with Death is Nothing at All and creates a moving narrative of the shifting emotions and visceral realities of life after loss.
​
"Death is Nothing at All" pays homage to all who’ve been lost and those left grappling with pain, sorrow, and the void left in their lives, and it’s my hope that the words and accompanying illustrations will provide comfort, inspire healing, and speak to the grief and pain of loss.
​
“Death is nothing at all.
It doesn’t count.
I have only slipped away
into the next room.”
