    Create adorable crochet dolls for children suffering from the death of their grandparents

    An American artist makes crochet dolls in the likeness of loved ones who have passed away.

    Metabolizing the death of a loved one is not easy and even less so if you are a child. An expert in crochet works helps young and old to cope better with mourning by making dolls with the appearance of loved ones who have passed away.





    Everyone experiences death in their own way and there are those who love to surround themselves with objects of the deceased person in order to always feel them close. An original idea to help people who are grieving is the one he had JennieLeigh Holland, artist who manages his own page called The Spunky Onion where he offers crochet works of all kinds.

    Among his creations there are also the "Look alike Dolls", dolls depicting missing persons, useful for mourning especially for children. Precisely for one of them he made a doll depicting the missing grandfather, an object that helped the little one find comfort in this difficult situation.

    The doll which, like all those made by this artist is handmade and measures 38 cm, wears the same clothes that her grandfather has in a photo and holds a fish in his hand (the two used to go fishing together).

    Jennie, who lives in Louisiana (USA), wanted to share the story of this child who particularly touched her on a Facebook group dedicated to crochet enthusiasts.

    He said that the little one suffered a lot from the death of his grandfather and was looking in every way for something that he could always carry with him to remember him. It was the child himself who chose her photo to have her create the doll and asked her to also include the fish in memory of the beautiful days spent together.
