30 Faces in 30 Days: Day 5, "Grief"

This was the hardest one yet. As we near 100,000 deaths from the coronavirus, we hear words like "statistics" and "data," but the reality is, people are experiencing heart-rending grief, horror, and despair. This young woman has a baby and a toddler and lost her husband to the virus. I can't even imagine the pain she is experiencing. 

I have never before tried to picture grief written on someone's face, and it was not easy. I just wanted to put a human face on tragedy. This is the first drawing I've given a title.

  1. I think you captured this beautifully Carmen. It is all written on her face.
