This was half a thought I had shortly after mom died, which Paul encouraged me to develop. I spent a couple of hours on it last night, and Paul thinks it’s good enough to ‘make public,’ so to speak, and I’ll trust his judgement.
In Memory. (LINK OFFLINE FOR NOW, BUT AM RECONSTRUCTING THE PAGE)
This was for me, so it doesn’t really have to interest anyone else. But if you find it interesting, that’s great.
Life hasn’t even begun to return to normal yet, but I’m not sure what normal’s meant to be at this point.
This tribute is especially important as, in any real sense, I do not have any family anymore. Beyond this, I hope to have a tree planted with a plaque, somewhere in Brighton, later in the year. Mom loved Brighton and it seems to me a much nicer memorial than a headstone in a graveyard that no one will ever visit.
I’m up to my ears in paperwork and have phone calls to make. Later.
That was a really nice thing to make and a great tribute to your mother. I would imagine it was difficult emotionally to do, but also a good way of making some positive statement from the sadness.

That’s a lovely tribute, heart-warming and moving.
Quite classy. Helps me who didnt know her so well, understand what you’re going through and who you’re missing. Wish I’d gotten the chance to meet her, this helps some. Very responsible and encouraging.
That’s a really lovely tribute you’ve produced there, Chrissie. I know I was never lucky enough to meet your mum, but seeing those pictures laid out like that is genuinely fascinating – painting the trajectory of her life, if you will. Like Alan said above, it’s great that you’ve been able to create something so heartfelt and positive in her memory.
A tree would be a great (living) memorial, hope you can get that organised in an appropriate location. A park in Brighton maybe?
Good luck with all the officialdom you’re having to deal with.
