Compassion...in Between
Abstract
This art piece is a reflection of own recent experience with the death of my husband, John Dunsmore in August 2019. I have known him for 34 years ( Since SVP '85) and was married for close to 20 years. His death has made me wonder where did his soul go because I was with him through the whole process, up to his cremation.I truly believe that his soul did leave his earthly realm and entered eternity. His spirit and and his body separated from the moment of his death to continue with his journey as part of his human evolution. My experience with John's death evolved my soul to be more compassionated with the in between moment.
