We’re probably all familiar with the more conventional ways of honoring a loved one’s remains after they die: burial and cremation. Grief counselor and artist Ian McCartor, however, has created a new beautiful way of honoring those who have passed through art. He is the President and Executive Director of the Ash Rose Foundation, an organization that walks those who have lost a loved one through an immersive 30 day grief journey to heal and use memories of that person as inspiration for a custom ash portrait.
This stunning medium of art acts as a medium of reflection and a bridge to the person they have lost. Clients of the Ash Rose Foundation gain not just this unique artwork, but also journaling prompts, counseling resources, and community. It is a truly beautiful way to honor the essence of the person who has passed through art. Whether you’ve lost a loved one recently and are looking for ways to honor them, or you are simply interested in alternative grief processes or art, you will be moved by this episode.
