Inspired by a dream, Linda Schadewald, a career nurse, used her avocation, painting, to alter the way she viewed her mother's death from cardiac arrest twenty years earlier. Utilziing a rainbow palette of vivid colors, she turned the zigs and zags of her mother's cardiac readout into a depiction of her ascension into heaven, thereby transforming long-held grief into joy and exultation.
Since that day, as Linda explains in her story in the February-March 2017 edition of Mysterious Ways magazine, she has used her artwork for healing.
It was a therapist who suggested Linda revisit her mother's medical file, which led to her artistic revelation.
Linda encourages everyone to see not as a sunset, but a sunrise.
