Longing Together

On longing, grief and being together in big feelings.

Hello, Friends -

Today’s comic is about longing with others. Longing is often portrayed as a lonely feeling. But lately I’ve found myself longing with loved ones. This coming Thursday marks two years since I lost my Dad. I spent a lot of cathartic time with my family last weekend sharing stories and celebrating his memory. We all longed for him to be there with us. The grief changes shape, but it’s still there. I’m grateful that we can do this together.

I started drawing the plants as a way to unwind from a busy week and added the words later. I actually started with the panels in this order before I scanned it in and added words digitally (as it appears above).

The panel arrangement felt a little top-heavy to me, which is what drove me to rearrange:

But then I added the words to the original page anyway, and I might like it better this way? I don’t know! Which one looks better to you?

Thanks for reading!

In case you missed it, last week I shared a comic about zooming out.

xoxo,
Sheri
