This is very beautiful, even in your struggle. Transitioning to an orphan is a different and difficult head space, no matter your age. Hugs to you.

Yes, there are still days when I want to call my mother... your page is so beautiful, I love your clustering behind your photo

This is absolutely gorgeous ! The monochromatic color scheme has a mystical ethereal quality. That cluster is absolutely jawdropping . The look on your face is almost haunted, somewhere in that space between happy & sad, I see the struggle in your eyes. What really fascinates me the most is the way you presented the journaling , I "see" the struggle there in the lines intertwining, I was compelled to zoom in and read the struggle. Beautifully done. Totally deserves a Standing O

Congratulations! Your layout will be featured in the next Friday's Cheery O Favorites blog post

Very touching, gentle, soft page. Grief is such a difficult journey but it reminds us of all the love we still share.

What a beautiful page this is Carina. Both the layout and the story, I have not yet experienced this kind of grief but my parents are old (over 80) so this moment is still to come for me. Hugs and congrats with the Standing O! Thank you so much for participating in the challenge too.

Congratulations! Your layout will be featured in tonight's Oscraps newsletter
