Many of you have wondered where I’ve disappeared to the past little bit and I figured with my new photo series complete, now is the best time to fill you in. I’m going to make this short and without much detail, seeing as these issues are very personal.
I have lost my maternal grandmother, paternal grandfather, and my 11 year old dog all in the past 8 months. Every time I try to get up and stand on my own two feet I seem to fall crumbling back down. Since I was young I’ve realized that life is short and we only get one. I try and live every single day to it’s fullest, though lately it’s been a struggle to do so.
In terms of the grieving process after a loved one has died, I believe that everyone grieves differently and in their own way. I took the 5 stages of grief theory and transferred the emotions into my 365 day project over the past 5 days and thought I would share with you.
The 5 stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. If you would like to research more about the grief process I recommend Grief (on Wikipedia) and The Five Stages of Grief.
P.S. I will be back again and this time even stronger, I’ve just needed a bit of a break from my online life. In the near future I plan on to start posting more frequently again and re-designing some of this website to include a photography portfolio and possibly a couple other things.
I love the last picture. Very Very well taken!
Thanks Patricio!
