Living With Death
intends to debunk the statement “Oh with time you’ll
move on” after the loss of a Loved One. You don’t move
on, but instead learn to Live with the death. In this
painting, those of us still living, are the lilies with
their petals. The flowers in the middle with the petals
are those who have died. Depending on how recent is the
death, those who have passed on either have only the
stamens, for those who are newly departed, or the
stumps, for those whose separations are so long ago,
that they are only cherished reminiscences. We Live
surrounded by their memories, and material remembrances.
And as our time comes closer to answering our Call, we
are now at the apex, with our newer generation, behind
us, preparing to live with our deaths. The cloud in the
background into the foreground is the Holy Spirit as it
comes to call us Home, and help us Live with Death.
