Losing one of my dear friend's children last Monday has taken it's toll on myself & my children.
I have struggled to find the joy I usually get from taking photos, even though my husband has taken me out on photography day trips to cheer me up. Editing my images has also been particularly difficult over the last week. The funeral is tomorrow (well today actually as it's 2am here) and I hope that the Celebration of his wonderful but short life tomorrow will bring some kind of closure.
Sorry for the seriousness of this post - most of my followers are used to my photography being the main theme of my blog. I leave you with some images I took a couple of weeks ago. This is Autumn in my sub tropical part of the world.

thanks for posting, even though your heart is heavy. i do hope the funeral can bring some closure and peace, or at least, some shared grief.
Normal that you are serious and sad. I wish you and your family a lot of strenght.
Greetings,

meet what needs that have to be met and life will return to some normality bit by bit again. Take care of you and yours and thankyou for the update and your lovely photos Liz
It's understandable that you don't feel like posting with such a loss, Liz. You and your family are in my prayers
Gorgeous images.
So sorry for your friend's loss - how heartbreaking for you all.
Your photos have a beautiful melancholy. Do hope shared grief helps in some way.
It's not an easy thing and many people wouldn't even consider fooling with their blog. On the other hand, it is a way to take your mind off things. I hope you find peace soon. These are lovely shots, Liz!
So hard to lose a child whether it's yours or not, and considering they are close friends makes it even harder. I hope and pray for healing balm for your heart and your friends hearts
I'm so sorry for this loss - mothers day for your friend is probably going to feel like a cruel joke this year. You must be feeling so heavy with this sadness. I hope as you say, that the funeral will provide a sense of closure.
I wish you much strength in this difficult time ...
Greetings Karin
I'm so sorry, Liz. It's complete normal that you're reacting this way. Take the time to heal and work through the loss.
I'm so sorry for your friends' loss and how heavy it weighs on your heart. I hope you will feel better soon...or at least start to feel better.
