My mother recently passed away at a local hospital surrounded by her family. She was 87 years old and had been married to my father for almost 25 years when he passed away unexpectedly, and she remarried for the next 29 years. She lived long and wonderfully, with two great-grandchildren sitting on her lap. I was able to talk to her before she died and tell her I loved her. She told me she loved me and that she was proud of the man I had become. We may have had our differences, but we achieved closure before she passed.
I realized that working through grief can be a very difficult process, and I am still going through this.
I have one special Second Life alt (alternative avatar) because she has my mother’s name, Karin (the German form of her English name). girl name). As a child she became a refugee in the chaotic aftermath of World War II, and eventually her widowed mother (my grandmother) married a man who brought her new family to Canada when she was a young girl who could not speak any English.
I inherited creativity from Karin (As expressed here in Second Life) as well as her well-honed sense of humor (I express here in SL too!). I also got a unique, sharp laugh from her. you can immediately After the first joke, tell me exactly where I am sitting in a crowded theater (movie or play)! As a child I would lie in bed and absolutely listen to her. scream Get a laugh out of funny TV shows like Carol Burnett.
So today, Karin is an angel who loosely represents the young woman I was born in in the 1960s. You can receive a retro hairstyle as a gift (Blonde color HUD only) We are currently at the WINGSDS booth at the ACCESS event. The style is called ER0526.
The head is GENUS and is a compilation of pieces from the Margo Genus Morph L$88 head and head skin offer from a few years ago and the more recent limited edition 2026 Female Genus Morph head giveaway. To this I added the same Genus Morph beaked nose my mother had and her grey-blue eyes. I received the angel dress and halo as a free gift at a recent Dove’s Dream shopping event, and I received the wings for free using my last Blueberry Store credit. The body is Maitreya LaraX. The portable candle is a gift from .Viki. Visit the SL23B Shop and Hop event booth now.
So in a sense this alternative is a celebration of the mother.
It will take longer than expected to heal. Please understand. I am grieving, overwhelmed and exhausted. Thank you for your understanding.
