The husband of my friend who died in February died of ALS in 1991. He was an artist who created large mandalas at the end of his life. While looking through my photos of my friend, I found newspaper photos of him, along with this mandala:
With her in mind, I started a mandala soon after my friend died but have not found time or energy to work on it since then. Any day now, I hope to sit down at my work table and see how Mandala #42 unfolds.
I am grateful to my friend's sister who called me shortly after my friend died. Being able to communicate by email with her during our time of confusion and grief and loss and celebration of my friend's life has meant the world to me.
