TAPESTRIES OF GRIEF
4 - 19 September 2021
What is Tapestries of Grief ?
Tapestries of Grief is a multi-platform ‘festival’ that combines virtual talks, face-to-face experiential workshops, and a community art exhibition
To honour our loved ones or to carry on their legacy, we often find ourselves following in their footsteps. It could be as simple as volunteering our time and presence to help others or making a donation in our loved one's name to a charity.
Kindness has the power to transform us. The feeling of satisfaction and peace that comes from doing what we can to help, even if it is just a small and simple act, can be truly soul-restoring.
Please share a picture that depicts an act of kindness that you did to honour your loved ones.
Do also share a short write-up, including the name of your loved one, your relationship with them, and what the picture meant to you.

“We need to grieve the ones we have loved and lost in this lifetime- not to sustain our connection to suffering, but to sustain our connection to love.”

Mum and Dad supported all 4 of us through University in the 1980s, ensuring none of us is left behind.
The Bursary was set up in honor of Mum and Dad.
We have lost Mum less than a year. We have lost Dad for a month.
Now the Bursary is in perpetual memory of Mum and Dad.

My Grandfather, Ahmad, was someone whom everyone in my family relied on for emotional support. When he passed on a few years ago, I decided to take on that role, writing appreciation letters to my family members and reassuring them that they were not alone.

Losing my wife was the darkest period of my life. I still feel deep loneliness and a void without her physical presence. I still chant everyday, transferring merits to her in the afterlife.
Making art was difficult due to my low mood, however I managed to create and exhibit different art pieces that were showcased as an art exhibition titled 望. Through the generous support of donors, these artworks were sold and donated to 3 charities to further support their meaningful work in loss and grief, cancer support and youth development work.

When my dad, Jason, passed away from cancer last year, I decided to donate to a Cancer support charity in his name. I hope this helps those going through similar challenges.
