"...Dealing With Unresolved Grief" for HuffPost

new piece i did for huffpost’s series “good grief”. this installment is called “5 signs you're dealing with unresolved grief” by kelsey borresen. grief is something that i have focused on a lot in my artistic career because it has been a large part of my own life. my grandmother had alzheimer’s and unlike a lot of folks she lived, had her disease progress, and died in her own home (which was also my home) as we cared for her. i watched someone slowly die over a decade and seeing that as a preteen, teen, then adult changes how you relate to death. grief is complex and in the usa at least we really do prescribe what is normal and what is not when it comes to dealing with loss. this series really seems to be breaking that down, examining what is actually healthy and what isn’t, as well as touching on subjects less thought about when it comes to death and i am happy to be a small part of that

big thanks to ben currie for bringing me into this project and being a collaborative and trusting art director. also tons of appreciation for him for reaching out again after the last two times my schedule didn’t let me work with huffpost in the past
