Upload your mother's photo to Yoko Ono's Flickr account, here, "write her name, a note about her and to her and to yourself. If it gets to be a love letter, a poem or a very long message as long as a novel (!) that's fine."
I learned that John Lennon lost his mom when he was 18 and suppressed much of his grief for the entire time he was in The Beatles until he learned about "primal therapy" from Dr. Arthor Janov and released his first solo album with Yoko Ono. How can we grow as humans using grief through creativity?
This painting is really how I felt pretty much the moment my mom died and I drove home from the hospital and realized that I was totally alone in the world. No parents. No one to tell me what I'm doing is right or wrong. What are your interpretations and thoughts?
April 26th, my mom’s birthday. If she were here to celebrate another one, she’d be 64. Here's a video of our cross country trip we took together, via car, in 2007.
Mother's Day is once again upon us. A perfect time to give your mom flowers or watch a funny movie together. But what happens when you don't have a mom anymore? I mean, you had one... but now you don't. My mom died in 2009. Cancer. I watched the whole thing. That's a whole long story, for another time. So what I am I supposed to do on Mother's Day?
