My consolation today is that our beautiful and talented daughter is now free from her emotional pain and suffering.
My photography, 365 Project and friends have been a support for me through different trials. My intention is to carry on as normally as possible but please forgive any absences.
So very sorry to read this Hazel , A lovely portrait of Clare , and i am sending my deepest condolences to you , Ray and Neil at this very sad time for you all .Take good care and be kind to yourself at this moment in time ! xx
Haze , I don't know what to say . I didn't know Clare had "emotional pain and suffering" , I don't really know what that means . I do know however that in an ideal world, a mother should never outlive her daughter . My thoughts go out to Ray and yourself . Stay strong , never forget the joy and happiness that Clare brought to your life's xx
I’m so shocked to read this Hazel. Your lovely jewellery making daughter Claire…so very sorry for the pain Claire went through, you must have felt all of it. If a mother could take away a child’s suffering we would take it ourselves like a shot.
Thinking of you & Ray & all the family…..remember the good times which in the future will come to the fore. Much love. XX
I’m shocked to read this. For her , for you . Hope you can gif it somehow somewhere a place in you hart and life. And please do n`t blame yourself. I know you could n`t help.
Oh Hazel, when I woke up this morning and checked out 365 I was so shocked to read your post for today. What can I say, how devastating for your entire family. I will email you later today.
I do hope you continue with 365 even on a limited level at present. From personal experience it is essential to go out and find good things in the world even though you will be finding that difficult at the moment. Take care and remember to look after yourself too at this sad time. My thoughts are with you. xx
Thak you to each and every one of you for leaving such kind and comforting words. Emotion for us is still raw of course and we have post mortem etc funeral to get through but Clare will never be forgotten. xx
I'm currently on catchup so a little late seeing this image Hazel, such a traumatic time for you and Ray, It's terrible to hear of your loss and I express my sincere sympathy to you both:)
So very sorry to hear of your loss Hazel.. So very hard for a Parent to bare. It will be the 10th anniversary of the sad loss of our beautiful daughter in a few days.. The pain is still there but so are the happy memories.. keep those happy thoughts close to your heart. Much love ❤️
Hello Peter and thank you for your kind and empathetic comments. I am working hard to stay strong in the face of my own bipolar disorder. What you say is much appreciated.
Dear Hazel, I saw your post today and came back to find out what had happened and I am so very sorry I am a year late in sending my condolences. My most sincere empathy as loss can be so unbearable at times, yet the memories give comfort as time goes by. Nearly five and a half years for me since I had to say a sudden goodbye to my husband. The loss is part of who I am always.
Dear Junko, I do remember the loss of your husband, although I did not know you well on 365 at the time, and how sad I felt for you. Thank you for writing to me. Our loss was also sudden and Clare lived in Scotland. Because of lockdown and my own disability (I am better now after a hip replacement and can walk again!) we had not seen her for over 3 years. I think perhaps the biggest mistake we make is to think that grief ends. Your words give me commfort today.
