Sarah Leavitt illustrates the tender and complex grief of her partner’s assisted death

Vancouver comics creator Sarah Leavitt is no stranger to exploring personal stories through her art. 

Her first book, Tangles, tells the story of how Alzheimer’s transformed her quick-witted and outspoken mother into a scared, forgetful woman — and illustrates the moments both heartbreaking and silly that strengthened their bond amongst all this change.

An illustrated book cover featuring two lovers sleeping in each others arms.

Something, Not Nothing, her latest work, also highlights Leavitt’s talent for capturing powerful and raw experiences and describes the grief of losing her partner of 22 years and the sparkling love they shared.
