Hi Autumn. I already commented on this post from last year and repeat my happiness that you found new housing. And my sympathy at your having to endure the shock and grief of the unexpected marital breakup. 2022 was rough for you.

I’m writing to let you know that 2023 is turning out bad for me. I had a sudden attack of glaucoma which left me permanently blind in one eye and partially blind in the other. My five doctors and I are trying to save the latter eye. I had holes drilled in my head this week and will likely need further eye surgery in a month or so. Thus… life is full of surprises. Many bad. I never saw this coming and it’s turned my life upside down. I can’t drive, travel or do any of the fun activities I had planned. *sigh* As someone with chronic illnesses you probably understand this predicament better than most.

Robin and I wish you the best and hope your year is going well. Get back to crafting!

Sweet beautiful Autumn,

I think of you often and I miss our conversations. You are so pure.
I’m so sorry that you have to go through all of this. You are a true inspiration and instagram is for me not the same anymore, because you are not frequently there anymore. Thankfully you update things on your own website. I love this website it’s so gorgeous. I always loved your beautiful pictures. I hope Annie is doing okay. My thoughts and prayers are for you two and I hope the depression is going away for good and always.

Much love from Zenna and me.

You’ve just described my life 10 years ago with so much truth and pain and despair and burgeoning of hope of living life without the enormous burden of devastation weighing you down. There is light on the other side & I hope you’re seeing glimmers of it now (if not long views). My story did include mental and emotional abuse from a sociopathic narcissist that wasn’t the man I married and I fervently hope you weren’t subjected to the same. I still have times where I look around and wonder how I got here, and then I can be hit by a wave of incredible sadness and the inevitable rage towards the one I’d given my soul to. Your writing struck a nerve and I’m very moved by your ability to express what you’ve been through. Thank you for reminding me of how much I have healed and how happy I am now.

Hi Autumn, it's lovely to read an update from you. No apologies needed. :) I'm glad to hear that you and Annie have found housing. And I'm also glad that your mental health has improved. I understand what it's like to have long-term depression and anxiety, so I'm happy to hear that you've experienced times of being completely depression free. :) I look forward to any new content that you publish in future, whenever you're able to. Wishing you a Happy New Year and better times during 2023. Sendng love. Zania

Thank you, dear friend, for the update. We were wondering about you, of course.

I’m glad to hear you’re learning how adversity can prompt growth and how, at the worst times, we can discover strength we didn’t know we have. You are strong and it comes through in your voice here.

Best of wishes to you.

I’m very sorry about your loss. I think grieving the loss of a marriage must be one of the hardest things to experience. Just because a marriage ended, it doesn’t mean it wasn’t true or that the love wasn’t real. Sometimes it just happens that one person cannot stay in the marriage because of their own personal reasons.
I wish you all the best in 2023! All the best to you.

I’m so very glad to read this update. I’ve been thinking of you since the other post. I’m happy to know you are finding some measure of strength within the heartbreak.

What a touching read! You almost made me cry. I will go home and kiss and hug dear husband and son. The saying goes that everything happens for a reason, but often it is very hard to see the reason. Much later looking back one thinks, ooh, that's why. I hope this happens for you too. It made me glad that your health is better though, I think it is the shock. It turn things better or worse. You needed strength to cope with it all, so mercifully you are better. I have been thinking a lot about you lately, hoping everything was well at your end. The saying also goes that time heals all wounds, but I always add that there will be an eternal wound. All my very best wishes to you, dear.
