Tonight I'm hurting. I so desperately need my Mum. I don't talk about it much anymore (in terms of grief... I blog a bit, and fundraise, but I've stopped talking about it because there's nothing and nobody who can fix it or bring her back).
I went to Dad's for a few hours because I couldn't deal with going tomorrow (a combination of birthday plus Mother's Day makes me want the day to just not exist so I'm going to Kate's so we can ignore life). I'm just really struggling tonight. Everything feels wrong and I can't stop crying.
On the plus side, I have been reunited with my camera. But I was thinking - people seem to like the journal pages, would you like me to keep posting them in a separate album?
please keep on with the journal but would be great to see the photos too. Sorry about the hurting. I'm not surprised though. I hope you and Kate will be good for each other tomorrow. Hugs from me.
So sorry to hear about your sadness today...as always, you have expressed it perfectly in your journal. I do love to see your journal entries, but I so enjoy your other photos, too. I vote for both, if you have the time and inspiration!
yay for journal, perhaps just share them when you like, no pressure
the hurting creeps deep inside without precise shape or form just a vague gnawing sadness , i know
Naomi, your Art Journals a quite a wonderful gift to this community, as most people probably don't know about this art therapy process. Your present them so honestly and beautifully, and, even if you added no words in the text below, your raw emotion comes through. As time permits, I'd love to see both your life in pictures as well as your journal pages, but I vote overall for the pages as you bring something into this room that no one else has done to date.
Try to possibly think of how fortunate you were to be blessed with this special mother you had. Too many children are not nearly so fortunate, and the relationship might be a bitter and unhappy one. You got a good mom (and dad) and good,genes for beauty and intelligence. I think I'd smile to myself and have the courage to think upon you Mom with happiness for your time with her. Bless you Naomi.
Based on the depth of your grief, you must have loved your mother a great deal - I'm glad you're able to express yourself so well in your art and words.
