I am sad for your loss. I lost my mother when she was 93 and we were very close. I believe Mom is heaven and we will be together again. This is a tremendous comfort. I loved seeing the pictures of your sweet momma. I can see that you took good care of her the way you had her all bundled up and included her in your life. She was certainly blessed to have you and your husband. Especially at the end of her life which can be very hard and lonely for some. Being a mother myself,I believe she loved you and would want you to be happy.

I do not believe in 'closure'. I believe we simply have to find our way to living without their physical presence. I also believe the depth of our grief and loss is directly linked to the depth of the love we shared. My parents passed at 62 and 69 - entirely too young. Adjusting to the 'new normal' is never easy. Mother remains my very best friend. I often feel 'it only hurts when I breathe'. Yesterday I was renewing my vehicle tag. A lady walked past me wearing my Mother's favorite perfume. I cried. Mother passed in 1999. That was all the family I had. Adulting can be challenging. Allow yourself all the time you need. Everyone has to cope in their own way, in their own time. Be kind to yourself and do not set time parameters. Your Mother knew she was loved. She wasn't alone. That is such a gift.

So sorry about your mother😢. You never get over the loss. It's been 10 years for me and I miss her everyday! Glad to see you back.😊

So sorry for your loss Gilly. I’m glad you got to make so many lovely memories with your mum, cherish them always. Sophie x

My heart goes out to you. My brother passed in 2016, my mom in 2018 & my dad in 2019. You never get over their passing. Their spirit/soul lives on & I will see them again when I pass. I talk to them everyday. I’m glad your back. Your paper beads are so beautiful. Looking forward to more of your videos when you’re ready. Your mom was blessed to have you in her final years 🥰🙏💕

God bless you all. I lost my dad Dec 18, 2001 and then I lost my mom Dec 15, 2015. I was devastated with both passing right before Christmas 14 years apart. To this day I can't listen to certain Christmas songs that I use to love to hear. The very songs that we use to play when I was a child. They both loved Christmas so much.

aww Gilly, I'm so sorry for this horrible loss. What a sweetie you are to have cared for her these past years. Everyone grieves differently so you do what you need to walk through this. We're still here and will look forward to seeing more of you as you are able to come back.

I'm sorry for your loss. Wishing you the best and hope you are able to get yourself back to your craft. :)

Oh sweet lady, I am so very sorry for your loss. What a beautiful blessing to have spent her last years and moments with her making such beautiful memories. May she rest eternally in the arms of Jesus and may you always be blessed with daily memories of your precious Mother. God bless your tender heart.

So sorry for your loss. Grief takes its toll differently for anyone. Thank you for your beautiful videos. ❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing your pain and loss. My heart goes out to you. I moved in with my 96 yr old mom 5 yrs ago. We spend literally every minute together. We have no one else. I can’t help but think of life without her so I focus on the time I have with her. I am making beautiful memories. God bless and comfort you❤️.

Bless your heart. Losing your mom is never easy at any age. I am so glad you were able to spend 2 1/2 years with her. I lost my mom in 2005 and she would have been 100 on Halloween 2022. I miss her every day. So thankful you are doing some videos. I know I am not the only one on here who loves them. Best Wishes - Cindy

So sorry for your loss, sending you big supportive hugs. Please take as much time to grieve as you need lovely x

I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom. Sending you hugs.

I am very sorry for your loss. And felt so glad when I noticed your new video and realized that you are back.

All Moms are a blessing. I lost my Mom at age77. But with time, God heals all wounds! Your talent is special and gives solitude to the mind. Be forever blessed 😊!

Bless your heart. I'm very sorry for your loss. It's so very hard to lose our parents. My family went through the same thing. My father passed in 2017 and then my mother in 2020. My mom was 93 and it all happened so fast just at the begging of the covid pandemic. She did not have covid. Our situation was very similar in that my mom became very sad and was never the same after my father passed. My parents had been married for 68 years. My older sister lived with her and took very good care of her. I am just getting back to feeling like my old self now. Thanks for the great tutorial. I'm just learning how to make paper beads. I do need to buy a paper bead tool. My aren't coming out great without one.

Thank you for the bead tutorial and so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is hard but I can only imagine how much more difficult it must have been seeing it happen right in front of your eyes so suddenly. I hope you are doing well.❤️🙏
