After Bill Died…

Robbie McGinn’s partner of 32 years recently died after a long illness. In this cartoon, she generously shares the many ways grief is coming to her. She also shares the varied and valued ways the community, Mi'kmaw and non-Indigenous, are supporting her. "Grief is becoming gently embedded into my being," she notes. She also notes she particularly enjoys the chocolate croissants people are bringing over!
