Hand Painted Portraits by Talented Artists - PaintYourLife

"This last year has been hard and shocking, especially for my mama. She has uprooted herself and become a full-time caretaker of her parents. She knew they’d rather live their last days at home and not in an assisted living facility. As any caregiver will tell you, taking care of another human being can be emotionally and physically draining. It’s round o’clock care with hardly any breaks. However, this last year was particularly hard. My grandmother started to treat my mama differently. At times my mama found herself questioning if my grandmother ever loved her at all. To say there were some unspoken feelings was an understatement. It wasn’t until last Fall when a doctor confirmed that my grandmother was suffering from dementia. And within a few short months, she ended up passing away. My mom suffered from feelings of regret. She knows now that my grandma did love her very much, and that her change wasn’t her doing. She now wishes she could have bypassed all of the contentions she held onto. Although she has come so far, I wanted to create one more happy memory for her. With paint my life, we achieved that today. "

"Both my grandparents passed away and my mom did not have a recent picture with both of them. I and my sister wanted to give this memory to my mom, a portrait that will leave on in my family. Thank you paint your life and to the wonderful artist! "
