Life is an amazing journey, full of precious
memories, sadness and sometimes suffering. When a loved one is ill or coming to
the end of life it turns our world upside down. There is so much sorrow, fear
and feelings of helplessness and during this time families are not thinking
about future memories. Memories are sometimes all we have to hold on to in
times of extreme sadness. I, myself, lost my mother in 2002 and suffered such
sorrow. I still feel the sorrow but I find that remembering her and looking at photographs
of her life helps me to heal. I am so thankful that I documented her last days
on this earth. The way my family looked at her with such love in their eyes
could only be expressed in a photograph. I could not look at those photographs
for a long time but when I was ready to relive those last days I was so happy I
had them. I felt sadness but I felt grateful that she was no longer suffering
and I can, through those photographs, remember her and all she went through and
that is part of her life and legacy.
If you or someone you know would like me to
photographically document the last days with a loved one please call or e-mail
me.
There
is no charge for this service. I will not invade the privacy of the family and
I will not use any photographs for my portfolio that I do not have permission
to use.
