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.
