Description
Hello There Everyone...

I have a quote from ajm [Aly] about this challenge as it relates to my layout : [Thank You! so much...Aly]

"Masking can symbolize various aspects of our emotional lives,including how we cope with and conceal our grief."

*My layout certainly is centered around my grief journey & attempts to embody these themes.It was a somber year on June 9th,that my Beloved Ray has passed away...A year gone by...How time flies...While it seems...that almost everyone has moved on after his passing...I still cry each & every day over the loss of my beloved Ray...I don't pretend to have the answers about grief or know how I will feel moving forward...I can only scrap about what I know & how I feel in the "right now"...And for right now...that is all about my grief...I thought maybe I should stop creating these kinds of layouts...but 2 very kind & thoughtful people...told me...that it is perfectly acceptable to create as many layouts about Grief,as I feel I need to create...even if that is for the rest of my life...because grief is also about love & life...and these are lifelong feelings that we will carry with us...in our hearts forever...:heartlub:heartlub:heartlub:heartlub:heartlub:heartlub:heartlub:heartlub:heartlub...

Gosh yes, if you feel it necessary or you feel a calling to create around your feelings please don't stop doing so. It's very hard to believe it's been a year . . wrapping my arms around you for a gentle hug. You may mask in person but here in your layout is your opportunity to share hidden feels through your art. I love the addition of the butterflies and your diagonal flow in your design

I am so very sorry Rhonda, and it is so hard to believe a year has gone by so fast. I know you miss your Ray, and scrapping through your grief is really needed as it allows you to get it out. Sending hugs. All the blending and elements with the clock and that weeping lady are perfect to reflect your feelings. I love the addition of the butterflies too... the hope of new . You are in my thoughts. Thank you for sharing your page.

I am deeply sorry for your loss and the difficult times you've endured. Your journaling is very moving, capturing both the persistent pain and the effort to mask it in daily life. Expressions like 'time heals' and 'you can do hard things' highlight the struggle of facing pain while showing strength. Your layout beautifully honors Ray and shows the courage needed to keep moving forward. Thank you for participating in Rachel and Lynn’s mixed media challenge.:heartlub

My dear Rhonda, how my heart breaks. I sincerely believe you will never stop grieving, you will never stop loving your Ray. The two go hand in hand. In your own style of repeating elements, you are expressing your emotions. Much love and virtual hugs from a fellow member of the widows club. :grouphug

A beautiful visual representation of your pain and grief. And trauma too, I am sure, especially with your beloved Ray going in just 9 days. Thinking of you and sending a virtual hug.

Dear Rhoda - keep doing whatever you need to do to process your grief. I am learning (in my own grief) that grief has no timeline. The journey is different for everyone. Only those who have loved deeply and lost can begin to understand. I love your artsy pages that are so expressive and moving. I, too, have done several grief pages but mine are largely filled with words (my way of expressing things) and have not posted many here. Thank you for sharing your beautiful tribute/grief creations. Sending a big virtual hug from a fellow traveler .....

I know I cannot find words to tell you how much I feel this with you, I know we fell affinity, a connection between the two of us even years back, and I am so truly sad that I couldn't be with you when he passed, I did ask Christa to let you k now I was with you in spirit, couldn't type or be around but you can be sure I have been with you all the way, I am glad to be able to be a little bit present now, even if not fully.... I am here for you, my dear friend,.
Your pages always have been fabulous and the way you work your mind and heart into them makes them incredibly amazing, and you keep growing into a marvellous artist..... love you with all my heart!!!!!
this needs to be shared!!!!!!
Into the JULY Froggy Faves!!!!
