My lil' friend by naomi

My lil' friend

I have lost so many people through Mum's illness and death. Not just Mum... but the Dad I knew, the family I knew, the home I knew, and so many friends... this lil' guy is always there though :)

Missing Mum a lot at the moment. Not sure if it's the weather or quite what.

I'm doing too much too. I'm struggling to manage balancing things. I'm so tired. I know I'm doing too much when I'm p much in tears cycling home, not because anything has gone wrong, but because I'm exhausted.

Oh also my latest blog is on depression awareness week: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/naomibarrow/depression-but-you-dont-look-depressed_b_9723498.html
Your photo, Naomi, is so endearing, but I'm so sad for you as I read your caption and then the article you had published. I have a dear daughter who feels much the same as you and I want so much to make the world better for her. I'd wish you the same. ♥

Oh dear Naomie. I just saw your post on The Huff. via Twitter and thought I recognized you.
I went on 365 to see if I was right and now I'm looking at your picture and the text you wrote.
I'm so sorry and sad for you.
Sorry I didn't know about your lost and I don't know when you lost your mother but know how much hard it can be. I lost one of my friend years ago and few months after my dad.
I wish my English coulc be better so I could tell you how depression is part of the mourning.
I always been amazed by your talent. Years ago when I discovered your photos here. Hope you still have confidence in your talent Naomie and wishing you the best.

Naomi, I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine losing a mom at such a young age. That's just not fair and never will be easy... try to take one day, one hour, or just one breath at a time... Sending you peace and comfort.

This is a very tender image. Lots of feeling here.

A lovely picture of your special little friend. I hope he looks after you and gives you the hugs that we're all sending your way. I hope he can help you take some time to look after yourself too - even just a few minutes here and there to snuggle up to him. xxx

It is a gorgeous photo Naomi. I remember buying my 'Tedifer' on a ferry going on a trip surrounded by my college friends but feeling so desperately alone. He too brought me much comfort and absorbed many tears. As you say, you have lost so much. The great healer of time is so hard to endure. Take the time to be kind to yourself. You are doing well to keep with your photography hobby. I hope that posting on here helps somehow.

Still got my teddy too and I'm an old lady with grown up children. Take comfort in the fact that 6 months is no time at all to come to terms with your grief. Give yourself the time you need xx
