Christina- I was so sorry to read about your loss and encouraged that FOR helped you with your sorrow. I understand that. I came to 365 shortly after losing a job I really enjoyed. It was a bit of a shock- but getting out and taking pictures even with my little point and shoot helped me with the emotional loss. I know it's much deeper to lose someone so special, but I hope you will continue to find solace both in your loving memories of your mother and your photography. With deepest sympathy- Ann
