Three years after my husband died, I’m still trying to prove our life together was worth losing his family.

What I live with isn’t forgetting — it’s the blurring of memory.

The Blurring
What I live with isn't forgetting, it's the blurring. A meditation on grief, memory, and continuing without answers three years after loss.

Some cookies for you, flowers which my lovely godson gave me, stockings hung with care, and a tree full of precious ornaments collected through the years. Sending love from my house to yours and hoping all the photos you've received brought cheer! 🎅

We enjoyed making these snowflakes very much. They could be arranged in any shape! All it takes is paper, scissors, glue stick, and a picture window
