Carrying the torch πŸ”₯
Grief has a strange way of changing you. β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή
For me, it hasn’t slowed me down… it’s done the opposite.
It’s lit something in me. Like I’m carrying a torch for the people I’ve lost..
Some days, that means pushing forward harder than ever.
Doing my best. Building things. Showing up.
Lately, that’s looked like pouring myself into these child regulation cards…
hours at the PC, tweaking, designing, refining.
If I’m honest... part of that is probably avoidance. πŸ€”
Because sitting still means feeling the weight of losing my mum and my best friend so close together. πŸ’”
But it’s also something else.
It’s love, still moving.
Still trying to create, to give, to leave something meaningful behind.
It might not be the β€œperfect” way to grieve.
But right now… it’s what’s keeping me going.πŸ’•
These are a handful of the cards I have been working on, what do you think? - May have changed the style of the creatures.
