How do you convey all the brambles and tangles of emotions you feel when you lose your mother? After more than three years with dementia, my mom passed away peacefully in the hospital on Wednesday, October 4. My late father was my rock, but my mother was my anchor in this world. I feel like I've been set adrift, but I take comfort in knowing she's with my dad now.
This was an in-camera double exposure with the tilt-shift effect added in On1. I may have a lot of work to do on behalf of my late mother, but 365 has always saved my sanity.
They prepared you well to be without them when the time came. Very sorry for your loss. Love you capture. You might consider adding the abstract-76 tag also.
Oh Mags, I’m so sorry. I know how much effort you put into making sure she was comfortable and cared for in her last years. We would all hope to be so well loved. Being orphaned is a hard reality, no matter how old you are. Sending you love.
I am so sorry for your loss. My mother passed in July and you are right, 365 is always a bright spot as I have been navigating taking care of her estate matters the last few months. Today my sister and I closed the sale of her house (my parents lived there since 1958 and we both grew up there)…a bittersweet task. I’ll keep you in my thoughts!
I feel your sorrow, especially through this image, and understand it as this is how I felt when my mother died. Please take extra care of yourself now, the next few months can be very difficult
Condolence on the loss of your mother. My mother passed away about 20 years ago - maybe more, but I still miss her, and my Dad too who had gone 10 years prior to Mum. Your photo sums up the feelings well.
