Illo Friday ::: Lonely
On July 10, 2012 I finished my 8th and last round of chemotherapy.
As much as I was glad to be done I felt so alone at the end of it.
I had support throughout the entire three and a half months of treatment but it was still a very solitary experience. By the end of it I didn't really know what to do with myself. I felt very much sad and lonely.

what a fabulous illustration at such a difficult time in your life... i feel for you. i LOVE the angle you chose for this. Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing and have faith that things will be ok. ((hugs)) to you. xox
This is a fantastic image.
I'm sorry to hear about your health.
I wish you all the best.
What an incredible perspective Ashley!!! It's like an out of body experience seeing yourself from this position. What courage and energy it took to bring this digital rendering to life! You've tapped into something for your self health and wellness. Pursue with positive confidence. The rest will flow like water... And Dew... rest.
with love mum

Wow, great image and a thought provoking post. I just have no adequate words. It is unfair and a difficult thing to deal with at any age. Now that you are finished with Chemo, your healing can begin.
This piece really hit home.
My 4 year old is an oncology patient as well.
I sometimes wonder how he and I will feel when he is done with chemo.
awesome. a true feeling of "lonely",
Somehow, you managed to make a "lonely" illustration look quite beautiful as well! Congratulations on getting through your chemo! Now you can get back to everyday life, and producing more beautiful pieces!
