When he was just five years old, Williams’s son passed away. Williams describes feeling almost paralyzed by mundane tasks. But an army of loved ones supported her in her grief. Her husband spent time at home, and loved ones stayed with her so she wouldn’t be alone when he returned to work. Friends sat with her, prayed with her, and ate with her. Prayer and scripture study kept her tethered to the Lord. This image is a self-portrait. While the figure stands with hands clasped over her face, a peaceful dove, representing all those who lifted her up, rests on her shoulder.
“I was truly blessed by earthly angels that lifted my hands and strengthened my feeble knees. Indeed, God did not leave me comfortless.”
—Denise Williams
