A lonely
presence

‘A Lonely Presence’ defines the power of love within a friendship. Through Charlie’s perspective, together we work through the final stage of grief; acceptance. ‘Complicated Grief’ and the notion of acceptance is explored and visualised via the symbolism behind nature and more specifically, the forest (Charlie and Chloe’s favourite place), as we walk down memory lane, guided by a familiar voice.
