"I’m sad to say I wasn’t familiar with the work of illustrator Jason Polan until he passed away in January, but I am grateful to have discovered it now. Once news spread on social media, I found myself sucked into a tunnel of discovery. I felt drawn not only to Jason’s work and way he saw the world, but how he was described as a person and friend. Suddenly my own life was influenced by this talented figure I’d never known, and only discovered after his life was cut short by cancer.
How is it possible to feel so touched by a stranger? I learned about his passing from friends who knew him well and turned to social media to pay tribute. There were plenty of others who shared their sadness from the news though they had never met him.
Death and everything that surrounds it is nothing we’re taught until we find ourselves navigating it. What’s appropriate? How can we care for ourselves in the process? And how do we remember people publicly?"
-Anne Ditmeyer, Navigating Grief When a Creative Role Model Passes Away
"It may be unexpected or confusing to feel a sense of loss after someone we've never met in real life passes on, but rest assured you're not alone. There's no one right way to approach grief."
