Wow, this is me. I lost my mom to cancer. I stopped giving a shit about everything after that. I used outfits and getting dressed to deal with my grief. And it helped. And it still helps. Thanks for writing this.
I’m so sorry about your mom. It took me a long time to be able to even think about getting dressed without getting totally stressed out but eventually I was able to face it and it really did (does) help.
A beautifully personal piece Fanny, which resonates hugely with me having lost my dad over 2 years ago. Grief is personal and lonely but it can also unite. I see you x
Thank you for sharing this, Fanny! I’m so sorry for your loss. The photos of your dad are so special. I hope you’re finding joy in this Substack. I’m certainly getting joy from reading it!
Thank you for sharing, sorry for your loss, grief is a terribly painful thing. Do love the photos of your dad, especially the one of the white knit sweater, very very cool!

It’s so lonely! I’m sorry for your loss, it will be two years for me in August, hard to believe that much time has already passed.

Thank you. It has been a source of joy these past few months. Thank you for reading!
This resonates so deeply with me. My mom died of cancer almost 2 years ago. You captured all the complexities beautifully ❤️
Thank you Jennifer, I’m sorry for your loss. 💙 It’s so hard to put grief into words, I’m glad you were able to connect with the piece.

Grief is a wild ride, that’s for sure. I wish we still had that sweater! So many good pics of my dad and mom wearing it.
Jesus is carrying you. I know it’s hard. My Mother’s anniversary is coming up in May.
Jesus is carrying you. My Mom passed in 2019 and I still get anxious and tearful.
