There will always be a hole in my heart for all my loved and departed souls.
I had a dream about my Border Collie and I thought of “melon collie”, our joke because Victor loved to eat almost anything including cantaloupe and watermelon, and then I saw this.
Sometimes this is exactly how I feel; a void left by grief, sitting on a bench, adrift in sadness.
I’m updating this post to include some research into this sculpture because I feel it’s relevant.
Albert Gyorgy felt intense sadness and isolation with the loss of his wife and went on to create this beautiful piece of artwork as a way to cope.
This hole represents the massive void that we all feel when we lose someone dear to us, and many people have expressed their appreciation for this sculpture for it portraying the exact emotions they feel, but perhaps haven’t been able to quite put into words.

Oh my gosh I have never seen a sculpture that portrays a perfectly the loss. Thank you! Chris

It’s SO incredibly beautifully sad, isn’t it? Even more so with the head down. I get it.

What a perfect representation of grief: when our heart is temporarily closed off, empty, a void.

For me, it was that bowed head that tore at my heart and resonated. Sometimes the hole can’t be filled up. I’m sure if I researched, it probably has to do with the loss of a child.

The hole is your lack of connection to yourself. Your human connection to your spirit. This can be healed.

I’ve been working on that. It’s a daily practice.
