A challenging bake
Today I dedicate this bake to my eldest son, who suddenly collapsed and passed away 4 weeks ago today. My head is everything except okay but we could no longer accept store bought bread. So I chose a simple loaf to start baking again (Forkish overnight white) but I have to say the pleasure I normally have is missing.

I'm so sorry leslieruf, my deepest sympathies to you and your family. Your bake looks really lovely and delicious, thank you for sharing it with us.
Sorry to be hearing such news, wishing you a long life. My condolences. Glad to see you're baking again and they do look lovely.
imagination fails to comprehend your grief and words seem so inadequate to convey my sympathy. I pray that you find comfort rather than pain in the reminders of your son's life.

My deepest condolences to you. Those loaves are beautiful.
Just a sense of devastation for you.
Your loaf is wonderful.
Fwiw, there is a school of thought in psychology that says it's helpful during emotionally difficult times to do things you enjoy. They won't be as enjoyable, but that's still a step above doing nothing or things you don't enjoy.
it is hard but Arjon you have a point.

for a life lost way too soon, My condolences for your terrible loss. May happy baking one day return to you and may your son rest in peace,.
I am so sorry. Cyberhugs streaming your way.
So sorry for your loss. There are no words that will make the pain subside but know your "family" at TFL has you and your family in our thoughts.

Sad to learn of your loss, Leslie. A tremendous shock and obviously far, far too soon. Please know there are many of us with you.
Your bake turned out very well, so clearly, your hands still know the way. A nice tribute to your son's memory.
