Too often, the experience of guilt is actually a part of one's own Grief Process. To makes sense of this devastating experience in which our loved one is taken from our lives, we look to blame what or who we can. Sometimes, in our pain, we blame others for contributing to our loss. For those, it is easier to look outward, rather than within. But for those self-punishing ones who tend to internalize their blame, first and foremost, what stands out in one's mind are the blatantly apparent thoughts of where they may have fallen short. Often, they are haunted by the thoughts of what they did or didn't do while their loved one was still alive. This type of self-flagellation often serves as their own private hell.
(grief support for parent death) • When a loved one suffers a permanent injury or illness, it can be hard to navigate grief and loss when you are grieving for someone who is still alive.

My dad told me a story the other day of a co-worker whose son had died at age 19. This young man’s dad said that since the death of his son his, “Life used to be in color and now it is forever in black and white.” I appreciated this man’s metaphor of his grief, and I see how it can be true. But for me, it’s as if the dull moments of shades of gray once in a while give light to flashes of vivacious color. Since the stillbirth of my daughter, I actually find life to be more vibrant, to be more remarkable, and to be more dynamic with colors I used to not appreciate. I understand why the grief of losing a child would be described more like a 1920’s black and white photo than of a vibrant Monet painting. But for me, after the grays of the initial period of grief lifted, colors of beauty have started to appear all around me. The color of my husband’s green eyes shines livelier as I gaze into them, the golden moon glows more brightly on the freshly fallen white snow. With spring finally arriving, the red breast of the house finch shimmers in the daylight shining through the trees. Dawn and twilight are more effervescent as I notice the reds, purples, oranges, and blues of the sun setting and rising in the sky with added joy. The loss of my daughter has changed me, has moved me, and has shown me the treasure of what this life is, with all the beauty it holds. Nora’s existence, no matter how short, has taught me about how brilliant the colors of life are and how I need to be grateful for every moment I have with this beauty, since she was never given the gift of seeing nature’s canvases of color. I appreciate the beautiful hues of life more fully now. Mother Nature’s perfect Picasso. Yet, sometimes living openly to this beauty can be a catch-twenty-two. I appreciate the stunning shades of the world more, but I also see what I am missing with my daughter. I see a child’s bright blue eyes smiling in the coffee shop and my mind is confused. Part of me sees the sparkling cobalt eyes and I acknowledge how exquisite and amazing the gift of life is, but a part of me dies inside and my heart sees muted tones of gray because I will never get to experience the colorful beauty of my own child. People tell me that becoming a parent changes you. Maybe it’s because I have transformed from entering parenthood in this way that life seems more beautiful, or maybe it is because with the death of Nora I have learned just how precious this life is. Either way, I am grateful that Nora has given me the gift of colorful grief, but I wish I could have had my cake and eat it too. I wish the beauty of a more colorful world came with being a mother to a child in my arms instead of forever in my heart. I know that if I could have Nora back I would willingly go colorblind, but for now I will have to hang my gift of a canvas full of color next to her empty crib.

"At The Deathbed" by Edvard Munch, painted in 1895, is a powerful and emotive work that captures the profound moment of grief and loss. The painting features a group of mourners gathered around a deathbed, where a deceased figure lies. The use of intense colours and expressive brushwork conveys the emotional turmoil of the scene. The mourners' faces are depicted with gaunt features and haunting eyes that reflect sorrow and despair. The bold red backdrop serves to heighten the sense of drama and sorrow within the scene. This piece is a testament to Munch's ability to portray the depths of human emotion and the universal experience of death.
