Rest In Peace
ME/CFS is often described as a living death. The physical body no longer has the ability to make or hold the energy required to participate in life and all parts of your previous life disappear. This was not something I could fight but required me to fully surrender. My way of healing was to turn inward and heal my soul, first with the hope that the physical would follow and if not then find acceptance and peace with ‘if this was as good as it gets’ I could live a loving life. The body of work Rest In Peace is an exploration and expression of my experiences through this process.
