Great to have you with us. I absolutely agree that connection with those who 'get it' is key @Yazzabazza
Grief can have a mind of its own and there's no set timeline.
I hope the support you receive on the forums will be invaluable.
What sort of supports do you have at the moment?

Hi @Yazzabazza
Welcome to the forums. I have been here 3 1/2 years but new people are coming every day. Just jump right in. Most people here are very friendly.

Absolutely @Messylife - New beginnings can certainly be daunting. But if we keep doing what we are doing and it's not working, then it's time to make changes.
You are the author of your story.
We are here to support each other 🙂

Yeah. My mental health is much better for it. It keeps me stopping and not be anxious and overwhelmed.
I absolutely love Melbourne. I haven't been there much but next time the Government is giving land away, I'm requesting a park of grass in Footsgrey. Near the train or a short bus ride to the train station.
How aRe you tonight ?

@Messylife that sounds nice, messing up pictures is part of the process. Mistakes often happen in art but they aren't really a mistake, its a bit of that artworks journey. For me I like that art is never perfect and it is messy and but it is beautiful, wonderful and what life is really about.

This was my last one of the year. It's is so hot in Perth, painting on site can be challenging.
