Different people have different ways of dealing with loss. The artist who goes online by the nickname Stormy Gail, for example, tries to cope by creating comics. Her untitled series features a crushed but not yet entirely defeated skeleton, and its everyday struggles.
Stormy Gail started it in 2018. "My mom was hospitalized for stage 4 cancer," she told Bored Panda. "She was in a coma for two months and unable to bring my art supplies into the ICU, I began working digitally on an iPad." Stormy Gail doesn't have an art school education but grew up in a family of artists and with the support of her loved ones, she made her dream of being an illustrator a reality.
"[My series] doesn't really have a set name yet, mostly because I started these comics to journal my therapy and journey of grief. I do refer to it as my Sad Skeleton comics to people who ask what I do for a living though."

Target uses scent therapy. Vanilla & cookies so it's comforting to be in their store
This speaks volumes with so few words. For some it may not be opiates, but many run to substances for comfort and escape.
The thing is, worded badly (harshly) though it is, this is accurate. Most people are so busy concentrating on what is going on in their own lives that you are not going to be the centre of their attention. Most people are the star of their own movie, and if you are very (un)lucky, you might get to be a speaking extra.
good for the skelie! take ur compliments, it's normal to have a little sugar with salt.
