Welcome to our gallery on artworks that reflect bereavement.

The Palliative Care Services sent out cards to people that have been affected by bereavement. They were handwritten cards and included information and resources to support people in their difficult moments after the loss of a beloved person. They were looking for new designs for their cards, and sent out an open invitation for creative responses to this theme. February 2021

I am a trainee art therapist at CNWL working in mental health with older people. I created these tissue paper pieces as a response to working with loss during the pandemic. I have attached three ready-made cards as well as single artwork pieces.

By Amanda Taylor who writes,

"It's my design of a reduction linocut print of lilies which I believe are the queen of flowers, often used at funerals. The white lily stands for purity and sympathy and symbolize that the departed soul has received restored innocence after death."
