Trying to be all things to all people is overwhelming and exhausting. When I am inundated with loss or revisiting grief I compartmentalize it while I am interacting with family. I have “lost” six brothers to mental illness if you include the suicide. Then I lost three of them all over again when they died from complications due to the medications from the illness. When I am doing my art I stay present. That way when I feel better in the end. It's how I cope with loss.
