So sorry for your loss. It's beautiful that you have let us in on your journey of grief and making. Sending you love and healing💕

[@addiekl]

Thank you for sharing your grief and making journeys, both and together 💗. I'm sending you deep breaths along the way. I remember those early days and weeks of grief after my cousin (who was like a little brother to me) died suddenly -- the waves of emotions, adjustments to my being as I gradually realized that he wasn't here anymore. Be gentle with yourself.

[@jonnapeguero7910]

Appreciate you showing up in your time of grief. This is a beautiful episode and your authenticity shines. I look forward to your next episode! Sending strength and healing thoughts.❤

Oh Whitney, so sorry for your loss. Grief is hard. Stay strong. Your husbands sweater looks perfect!

[@cecilehoare3053]

I'm so terribly sorry for your loss Whitney! Please don't minimalize your worthiness for prayers and words of comfort, you are as deserving as anyone to receive them if not moreso! You don't realize how often you and your voice brings comfort to others; they are behind their devices going through their own pain and you bring us the light we need to get through the day! I wish you comfort in being surrounded by family, prayer to get you through the unanswered questions and peace knowing your brother will be with you always. Lots of Love and Hugs!

Blessings to you and your family during this time of loss...may your memories of your brother give you infinite comfort.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Whitney. Sending you lots of love and strength. 💜 Grief takes so many shapes and comes in waves so I'm glad you're giving yourself the space to feel what you are feeling. I've found that crafting can help, or that I don't feel like doing anything at all. I hope you find some comfort in your projects (which look lovely, BTW) and time with your family.

Hi Whitney. I'm so sorry for your loss! 🫂 You doing just what works for you! Loss is very hard and taking one moment at a time is helpful!❤. The sweater you're knitting for your hubby is looking great! I'm so glad the sleeves were long enough for him!❤

Sending you all the love in the days ahead. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Glad you have plenty knitting, sewing, and probably reading options available for whenever you need them and of course loving family and friends to process your grief with and hold you close. Take care.

I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️

[@kaytemnorwood]

I think that your dress turned out amazing. You're also my hero, I wish I could deal with grief as gracefully as you do. You are definitely on my mind and I hope that the funeral went okay and that you're doing okay. In other, silly news, I'm still sewing on a hundred star patches to my husband's Halloween costume. My fingers are disintegrating. Having a great time. 😅

[@christineshemranifar3218]

So sorry for the loss of your brother. I'll be thinking of you in your time of grief.

[@georgianasstudio]

So very sorry for your loss. You don’t need to talk about unless you feel like it. Xxx

[@thelefthandedreader6632]

I’m so very sorry for your loss. I’m so so glad your creative endeavors bring joy. They would for me too. Thanks for sharing this with us. This is the community, right? Parasocial or not. 😊😊. I’m sending lots of love and peace. Lots of hugs. I’m thinking of you.

[@cherylharasti1103]

Sorry for your loss give yourself time. When I say time I mean timmmmmmmme. Be prepared for moments or even hours of unexpected sadness. Things are going to trigger you, but it is ok let yourself feel. When things happen that make me think or remember or be sad I like to believe it is because they are there with me and it is their way to let me know. Hugs .

[@sewonsister]

I'm praying for you and your family. Whatever you are feeling in the moment is valid. I'm so grateful to have my creative outlets, especially during hard times. I was just talking to my mom about how it's often so much about the process more than the product. I'm listening to "The God of the Woods" right now and really enjoying it. I appreciate the book recommendations. Thanks for the video.

[@whitmakes]
