Starting a New Blog

It's been only two months since my teenage daughter died, and I am pouring myself into my art and tennis. I have met several other parents who have lost children. The need to meet others who have experienced the worst loss in life helps me feel that I am not alone. Unfortunately, there ARE others who have endured and continue to endure this terrible pain. It really is difficult for anyone to understand unless they've been through it themselves. How the littlest thing can just set your mind reeling with happy memories and sad memories of hospitals and IVs.

So for now, I am finding therapy in others and in my art. I've been dabbling in lots of different things and lately have been creating Halloween pieces, one of which is pictured below. There are two listed on eBay and two more on Etsy. Click on these links to see what's new.

I am new to all of this so bear with me as I learn the ins-and-outs of a new blogging site. Thank you for your support and love through this painful summer of 2007. ~Iva
