Washing My Mother's Body

Washing My Mother's BodyA beautifully illustrated edition of Poet Laureate Joy Harjos poem Washing My Mothers Body, which offers a way through grief when the loss appears unbearable. As I wash my mothers face, I tell her how beautiful she is, how brave, how her beauty and bravery live on in her grandchildren. Her face is relaxed, peaceful. Her earth memory body has not left yet, but when I see her the next day, embalmed and in the casket in the funeral home, it will be gone.
