This week was the saddest week as my mother passed away.
The Iast two weeks have been a whirlwind.
I did some sketching during this time. When I sketch I do not think about anything else and it is a wonderful way to relax. I did some sketches in the hospital, which I cannot look at at the moment.
However, there was a lot to share. There is the hospital equipment-
Flowers and food delivered.
And for something different. We are cleaning out Mum’s house and I sketching these plates. They are part of my childhood, and as much as I love them, I did not need or want to take them home. So I drew them instead! They will always be there for me. All in watercolour pencil of course.
If you have been following my blog for a while you will know how much my mum meant to me as we travelled and had adventures together.
Oh Alissa, I am so sorry to see this.
The loss of a parent is very hard. I hope that the love and support of family and friends is some comfort to you at this difficult time.
I am so sorry Alissa. May your dear Mother Rest In Peace. ?????
Sorry for your loss. I’m glad you made some sketches of the experience. I’m sure it helped in the moment, and your sketches will be a cherished memory of these final days with your mom. Take good care. — Jean
How lucky we are to have special people in our lives, like our mothers. Your Mum would have enriched your life, and left you many wonderful memories. Take care.
So sorry for your loss.
Sounds like you have many happy memories though.
I was so sad to read this news when you posted on Instagram. I do recall the many times you have mentioned your mum, especially the illustrated envelopes you sent her with your letters. And how you did Everyday in May with her. My condolences to you and your family.
I am so sorry for your loss. I understand, My mom passed in October. I don’t think I will ever get over it. Cherish all those sweet memories. Keep talking to her every day. Sending love and hugs.
