Title: “Not enough comfort to go around”I made this college very quickly to express how I experienced family while my sister was in a coma she was 4. I wanted to express that no one felt safe and we were all dangerous sharks, enemies. We only got 4% support each. Starving for her to cone back to us. (My 5 yr old sister died a year and a half after “the accident”.) I was relieved when I looked at this collage later (Feb ‘25) and noticed the figure in the middle is not a shark, but a person on a surfboard! That means the sharks (my family members) aren’t meaning harm at all. They are safe. Hurting, but safe. I’m on the surfboard and my family is surrounding me, Not meaning me harm, not threatening me and not abandoning me. It really gave me a new perspective on how we were dealing with grief and uncertainty, each person struggling but actualky I was safe. I avoided looking at this collage because it made me so sad until I made this realization. I have more compassion for my family now and that is healing.
