Why have we chosen the puzzle image we have? Well, we read this paragraph below and it shouted ambiguous loss to us - tragically our sea life is disappearing due to climate change...
"It was a hailstorm of fish of every colour, variety and size. There were times when I felt like there were tornados of fish around me and I literally couldn’t see through the walls of scales. There were hawksbill and green turtles everywhere, some sleeping under ledges and resting in the seagrass, others swimming away or circling me. Lurking moray eels stuck their dragon-like heads out of holes while poisonous lionfish swam lazily around. The superbly camouflaged stonefish and day octopus made rare appearances. Meadows of seagrass glistened in the sun rays filtering through the water. Blacktip and grey reef sharks wound their way like thread, sleek and precise, appearing for moments and then vanishing into the deep."
"As wonderful and abundant as all of this was, being a conservation journalist, I couldn’t keep the bigger picture from intruding: oceans of reality are slowly replacing oceans of fantasy.” ~ Sea Change Environmental Journalist Swati Thiyagarajan commenting on an abundance of sea life in the Seychelles, who said that despite its unbelievable beauty and bounty – it was only a shadow of what had been.
One day, the oceans will fade too and although Ambiguous Loss UK can't bring them back to full colour, we do our bit for the environment, and offer support to people allowing them to find abundance in their life whilst living with ambiguous loss. We'd like to help you build a clearer picture so get in touch if we can help.
