    I lost my little familiar just over a year ago quite suddenly. He was my best friend. He would often attack my paint brushes while I was painting.
    I have never grieved so deeply, and I understand the lesson of the crow all too well.
    Thank you for sharing your story, your grief, and your beautiful painting ❤

    That granny is my late grandmother who was a botanist by profession and academia. She built a garden for her family, and her grand-daughter who found her little paradise and her safest space in this world. My grandma once befriended a large crow and it cam every afternoon to take a morsel from her hand. Thank you for sharing, because I just realized gramma Susan was an Earth angel and loving witch. My heart just cried remembering her and I realized I am just like her. I miss you ammachy.

    My mother died unexpectedly last year. Going through Mother's Day and her birthday without her for the first time was difficult. Now as we are nearing one year since her passing, it adds a whole new side of grief and emotions.

    I watch a lot of art videos and I can honestly say, yours are the very best! It's almost like watching TV- but really so much better than that too.

    Your story touched my heart. The crow painting is beautiful 🩷 Your artwork has an ethereal beauty. My dad has been gone for over 30 years. My mom has been gone for 4 years. I still think, oh, I should call mom and tell her about that. Then i remember. My sisters and i have crystals hanging in our windows, and when we see the refracted light, we all say Hello Mom. I put my hand on the light so i can touch her or stand in the light so I can have a hug. My dad was a painter, and his paintings are in my living room. Since my granddaughter was 4 months old, she has stared at his paintings. She would try to twist around so she could see them if i had her in the wrong direction. I would ask her if great-grandpa was here. She was too young to answer. She saw a photo of him, and i said that's great-grandpa. She called him Pa. My sister and I laughed and said dad would have loved being called Pa. They're always with us🩷

    My mother has been gone 10 years, and I still catch myself saying 'I can't wait to tell Mom' ... The reality that my father is gone (2 years now) hits me differently ... It's all a part of life, and it'll be my turn before I know it

    Beautiful painting and video. I don’t know if you know this but I wanted to mention it just in case, Lily’s are highly toxic to cats, even just a small amount of contact. I had a friend lose their cat to a lily and I’ve heard other tragic stories too (the whole plant is deadly to cats). I refuse to have them in my house to keep my fur babies safe & I wanted to let you know 🖤

    I have only gotten 0:39 into your video and I already know I'm going to like it. If my screen name says anything then it should say I know way too much about this topic. I lost everyone older than me and my family My whole bloodline that was born before me between 2007 and 2014 with my dad in 2012 and my mom on my anniversary and New Year's Eve 2014. Grief sucks! We can't control it it's going to happen so we try to switch it to guilt this we can control guilt I'm glad you're doing a video on this topic I just randomly saw your coffee shop window video and it led me to this one. I just thought I would drop a few lines in before I watch the rest of it and subscribed. From one Florida swamp witch to another of the fay blessed be and no matter when it was I am sorry for your loss but as you surely know he's with you he is within you as well you living keeps him alive that's what we get to do as kids for our parents and I hope that helps in those times when you may be hit suddenly with a little bit of grief. That goes for anybody else who needed to hear that right now.
