Hi @Appleblossom 

I certainly understand the sculptures posted in the way they are intended - I searched for a painting to express myself and I think I found one

I loved the feel of his fluffy little head, and just holding him - when he cried I tried to ease his pain but I couldn't. The future was forecast during the first days I had him but I have no regrets there. He needed a mother and I was the one he had after he was born.

I have had struggles understand the various Pieta. A mother holding her crucified son - could a woman have crafted such a sculpture? I really can't answer that. The subject came up in class when I was at university. Yes - I can see the story - the beauty in the art - all of this. I think the truth of death is harder though. I always loved him and that is the most important part of my son's story.

The abstract Pieta tells the story of the agony really well - better I think. It really speaks to me. How a woman is crucified herself after her son dies

You must understand. I really see this in the pictures you post - esp the Pieta

Thank you
