ElfQuest Fan Art

I'm sorry about your loss...
The image is exquisite in its rawness though; beautifully portrayed.

When I lost Pepsi, my dog, it was like someone ripped out my heart, and somehow I was still alive. Bleeding and moaning and crying over the pain. Life goes on around you, people buying ingredients for their meals and paying taxes. While you are just lying there, trying to just survive one more day.  That's the sense I made into "life goes on." For everyone else.

My deepest condolences.

The image is very powerful.

Thank you so very, very much, guys. It really means a lot. *hugs*

Certainly one of - if not THE - most poignant moments in the original Quest. I admit I cried, and it does remind me of all those I have loved that are no longer physically with me. For whatever reason, perhaps it's the story behind it or stories others have shared, but it reminds me of when my Oma (German grandmother) died. She always called on the weekends no matter what, and it was eerily silent. My mother tried many times to reach her but never could. That Monday, we contacted the apartment's superintendant and learned she had died very likely that Friday evening, early Saturday. Worse was that in just two weeks, my mother and I had made arrangements to go to Germany, help her pack, and bring her back with us for a six month stay (she lived alone).

You have truly captured the image and moment not only from the comic but from the heart and soul. Many, if not all of us, have been there, desperate for a sign from a loved one, human or otherwise. No, time doesn't heal the wounds nor does life go on without changes. My deepest sympathies and condolences.
