A couple friends also lost their parents in the last month, it's so strange and sad. Life goes on. Sigh.
I'm still dealing with the few things leftover from my mom's passing. John Hancock, she had a lifetime annuity with them, they took out the $ twice in one month, it was more than they gave her, makes no sense. They returned the payment they took away the second time but not the odd difference of about $30.00 they took over what she was getting. I'm waiting for a refund from the nursing home for the 5 days we paid for in advance past the month. At $270. a day, it's not chump change. Funerals are really expensive, and if you don't have a plot, even more so. They charge more in the winter to dig the ground. If you have viewing times, that's more $$. The priest, the church, the musician, all separate checks. The cemetery, the head stone, the engraving, all more separate charges. It was overwhelming.
I need to make sure my plans are in writing. I've just been sad since my mom died. I'm okay, just sad. I miss her more than I ever thought I could. I'm so happy that we built a better relationship before she passed, it makes everything easier and I don't have anything to regret because I always did my best for her. FYI, my brother didn't show up. At all. Not even for her funeral. I'm glad my children love each other and like each other.

I am sorry you are dealing with this and your brother's behaviour. I hope you find solace and life will bring you something beautiful to ease your load so that you can go on. February has been hard here too, I am looking forward to spring, I hope it will get easier for all of us when we get to see the sun and flowers. Big hugs to you.

I am so sorry for everything, for your mom's death, for the financial dealings, for your brother not making an appearance. Regardless, your layout is beautiful, your journaling is "real". I get it. The dark background is perfect, the flowers show signs of hope.

Such a heartfelt and beautiful layout. Your words really capture the weight of loss, but also the love and resilience you have built along the way. It’s touching to see how much your relationship with your mom meant and how you are thinking ahead for your own family. Thank you for playing along with Rachel and Lynn’s mixed media challenge.

@ajm Thank you very much, can you tell that I was listening to this?
It's like we tell the children today, I've got some big feelings for sure! My mom heard the other song on this album called "I'll See You in my Dreams" and it resonated with her. Tony Bennett was her guy though!
@mcurtt I feel honored, thank you.

That is so hard that there is so much on top of what is already such a sad time. This is such a beautiful and also powerful page.

So many layers to deal with, what a blessing it is that we can work through our thoughts and feelings whilst we create, sending gentle but big hugs xo
