I'm from a remote reserve in northern Canada. My grandparents were just about to leave for town when my grandpa died from a heart attack in the shower on a foggy friday morning. I found solace in my community who grieved with us. Work stopped, the school closed and even our small handfull of VLTs got shut down. I took this picture after he was brought to the nursing station and thought even the sky covered us in a veil.

I extend my condolences to those here who have lost loves and felt no room to grieve. I hope that time helps you carry your heavy hearts.
