It’s been an incredibly sad year, with our loved ones leaving us one after another. In those difficult moments, when everything felt bare, I found comfort in the quiet life of flowers. Wanting to share that comfort with others who were mourning, and to pay my last respects in a heartfelt way, I created a wreath for the memorial service.
Baking has also been a source of comfort for me. While baking itself isn’t new, baking in a hotel room was. When I made one more trip back to be with my dad, there were days when I was just waiting around. Baking helped me focus and gave me something steady to hold on to.
Even though the wreath and the bread can’t reach our loved ones, the love, respect, and memories behind them still draw me close to them.
Sorrow is not forever. Love is.

My condolences on your loses this past year Yippee. What you said is so true, grief isn't forever, but love is. However, in the middle of grief it can be hard to see that it will ever end.
Hugs.
