Weeping Willow

Rob Jung's sculpture Weeping Willow was inspired by the loss of many parents, including the losses of parents in his community and his own. Weeping Willow encompasses the grief of loss, the sadness, and the feeling of love unfinished. She sits at the meditation garden at the Mount Pleasant Cemetery just outside Melfort, Saskatchewan, to show people they aren’t alone. We thank Rob for his permission to use this sculpture as the image for this module.
