This is one of the most beautiful and meaningful things I have ever purchased.
When I opened it, I burst into tears and just held it. It’s absolutely stunning, but what it represents to me makes it truly priceless.
My best friend of 29 years died suddenly. We were platonic life partners, and his loss completely shattered my world. His family chose not to hold a funeral or memorial service, and before I could even get a flight home, he had already been cremated. The only thing I asked for was a small amount of his ashes so I could keep a part of him with me, but that request was denied.
When I saw the Mourner’s Hand Wall Hanging, I knew immediately that I needed it. It has become my own memorial to him, a place for my grief, my love, and the memories of a person who seemed to disappear overnight without any opportunity to say goodbye.
I know this piece was created with its own meaning and intention or for a gothic decor aesthetic home, but I don’t think the makers could have imagined just how much it would come to mean to someone like me. It is exquisitely crafted, deeply moving, and now one of my most treasured possessions.
Thank you for creating something so beautiful. It has given me a place to hold my grief when I wasn’t given the chance to say goodbye.
