In recent times we have been experiencing difficult challenges with situations we did not have to deal with before, creating a lot of unrest in our minds: anxiety, fears, worries, and all sorts of negative reactions that affect our emotional and psychological state.
“Sadness and depression” is a touching newsletter, rich in feelings and emotions. The painting shows Omaira´s home late at night. The room with the lights on used to be Jose Antonio´s workplace at home. Omaira wanted to remember how hard her husband worked every day, even during the years he suffered the disease that ended his life. He was a distinguished scientist and professor at UNC, a geophysicist and expert on climate change. For a long time after his death, the room became a sad place where Omaira used to cry. Fortunately, now, through a healing process, the room has become a happy place where Omaira enjoys music, dancing, reading, writing. She remembers the good of their long journey together. Life goes on with gratitude and hope, a great accomplishment. No more sadness and depression. I feel happiness too.
Very thoughtful and soothing piece! I can relate deeply with your story of hiding grief, having lost my mother in 2019 and step-father in 2017 – both much earlier than expected. Like you say, it is important to focus on gratitude and hiding emotions doesn't help. I find gratitude in remembering and writing down memories, and even sharing them out loud. Keep up the good thoughts!
