Amy was everything to us, our life our dream our muse!
She gave so much of herself to everyone she would meet..
Her passing was very sudden. We had
no idea she was sick. She went into the hospital for a biopsy and never left. The day of the biopsy. The last I heard from Amy was im going in now. I got a phone call from her oncologist saying they gave her an overdose of pain medication and had to giver a shot of Narcon to revive her. After that one lung collapsed and she was put on a ventilator. Because of Covid we were not aloud to see her. She could only communicate with a pen on video.
When I was finally aloud in to see her the first thing she did was take her hand and run it across her neck to tell me she wanted to end it…..
With the the Passing of Amy Zimmerman, mother of my child Elle Lynch, I am in deep morning.
The day begins with the cats waking me at 6am, my hungry alarm clock. We acquired the brothers three weeks before Amy got sick. They were a gift to Elle.
Now, life without Amy couldn't be without them. They show so much love and affection. they are Elle's lovers. Seriously!
I am adapting to a new life without Amy......
I do much of my art planning and some printing and painting from home.
I still go to the studio butt haven't done a long day and night at the studio for over four months.
All the mundane things I took for granted over the last 25 years with Amy are consuming me,
vacuuming, cleaning dishes, feeding the cats twice a day, changing the kitty litter, doing the laundry.
How is there any time let to do construction and work at my studio???
Restructure, restructure and restructuring....
Elle and I are in morning. We breakdown and cry every day...
Does life continue after life? Does the spirit live on in the ones who new her?
I am currently working on work for an upcoming show which was originally scheduled for April 2021.
My Solo show has been rescheduled to July 15th, 2021
