I promised myself when I first started on this whole diamond painting journey that I was not going to be one of those crazy people with a gigantic stash who resorts to hiding purchases from their spouse and going into debt and secreting away unopened kits in hollowed-out mattress boxes.
I’ve walked your path a few times but the hardest one was the loss of one of my daughters. That first year or two, I could not understand why I felt so gloomy until I realized her birthday and then the day she died were approaching. Anniversaries are HARD. You can try to go on as usual but your soul won’t let you. Realize this is part of grief. Each year it will get better. Meanwhile, love yourself. Give yourself the space to not be perfect. If you need to talk about it please reach out. Petrena
Thank you so much for your kind words, Petrena. That means a lot. I cannot imagine what it would be like to lose a daughter and my heart goes out to you. Thank you also for the reminder not to expect myself to be perfect, especially during this time of renewed grief. Your words are truly a blessing.
