One of my most recent drawings is based on Tonkin's (1996) theory of grief.
Often, people expect the pain of grief to shrink, but in reality it is life growing around it that can make it less consuming.

ALT Top half of image with text "we often expect grief to sjrink over time..." and then three purple creatures hugging a grey spikey creature that shrinks. Below are the words "...in reality our lives grow around it...". Below this is the same purple creature hugging a spikey creature and then a second purple creature that is growing greenery and finally, a third with flowers growing from it and two other creatures by its side. The bottom of the page says "from Tonkin's 1996 theory of grief".
