I lost my head at 80 and got a Shiba puppy, but she has been both a nuisance and a blessing… keeping me more alive. Happy for the additions to your artistic life, but totally relate to the loss, the gap in your life that your mother leaves. It leaves one feeling ‘orphaned’ in a most unexpected way. It will take time, so give yourself that space when you need it. Hugs. (As a senior, I cannot afford your Patreon so am grateful you did this review.)

My condolences to you and your family. I also lost my mother recently and both of my younger brothers passed away unexpectedly within 5 months of each other so all 3 within 15 months. I’m a painter and my business was my photography and I just couldn’t take new work with my photography clients even though they tried convincing me it would do me good. Good intentions but no. My brother was an amazing painter and the only thing good-if anything can be good from a loss is that I finally made the transition to full time painter where I have 2 degrees in and left photography. It slowly comes back and art does heal so we are fortunate there. I’m really am sorry to hear about your mom

I am so sorry for your loss. My condolences 🙏 Same here on my end, lost my Mom last April suddenly also. And months before she passed, my dog passed. So, my Mom told me to find myself another dog because she saw how depressed I was. I found one and my Mom paid the adoption fee for my tiny chihuahua, whom I named Presley. A month before my Mom went into the hospital, she said, "See you now have Presley so you won't feel alone"😢 Little did I know Presley was my last gift from my Mom and I will always cherish her. And yes it was work house training a puppy while grieving but Presley also saved my life. Lost 45 lbs because I had to walk her, she was chewing everything in sight! 😅 Just wanted to share and thank you for sharing. So, happy you're back!

I can’t begin to tell you how much your remark hurt my heart because I always tell my KZread viewers how grateful I am for them. The feedback I get from viewers is always so positive and filled with gratitude over the hard work that I put into creating these free videos. Over 85 % of my KZread viewers consume my FREE video content without even subscribing or clicking like so they are not even supporting all of the effort and expense that I put into my video making. Running a KZread channel is an incredible amount of work. I am disabled and live on a limited income. Because of the disease I have with my mast cells I have allergic reactions to a multitude of things including the food I eat, the clothes I wear, the products I use and everything in the environment around me. I am in pain all the time and struggle with crushing fatigue & depression. I am rarely able to leave my house and when I do, I tend to be sick for about a week after exposure. Since I’m no longer able to work outside of my home I created a Patreon to generate income. I charge $5 a month for my Patreon, that’s less than a cup of coffee a month for a ton of high quality video lessons that would cost hundreds of dollars if they were sold separately as classes. That helps pay for my medications and medical bills that are not covered by insurance. My Patreon income also goes towards groceries. Such a hurtful comment to read during a time of loss & grieving. Please try to have some empathy for others with disabilities that, like you, are struggling and working hard to support themselves while still trying to give of themselves to others to help make the world a better place. There are nearly 300 videos that you can watch for FREE on my KZread channel. That’s free content that I create every single week and give to people that can’t afford Patreon.
