‘Marigold’ is in honor of the grief experienced by children who have endured the death of a loved one. In particular, a parent or sibling. Sadly, the fact that children experience devastating loss and grief is something that has been universally swept under the rug. The Marigold flower is a symbol of death, grief and loss in many cultures. I use the flowers in this image to represent the abundant life energy that I witness in grieving children during my time spent with them as a peer grief support facilitator. The standing skeleton with their hands on the dying/deceased represents and honors the caring and compassionate humans who choose to hold loving space for grief, death and the suffering we all endure on this journey.
