It's been a tough day and art journaling therapy was truly needed. I hope you forgive the somber tone of this video, but that's where I am today. Are they the best trees I've ever painted. No. But it was the best I could do in that moment and the page did what I needed it to do, lighten the burden carried by my heart. Thanks for your support.

Gina i am so so sorry for your loss. I just came upon your video as it came up on my feed and watched this heartfelt and very beautiful tribute to your beautiful baby girl. I cant imagine your deep pain. I was once married to a man i deeply fell in love with and had 3 beautiful children with him but he was addicted to heroin and we endured this nightmare for 16 years until i divorced him. I tried and i tried to help him but in the end i couldnt do it anymore. It was taking me away from my children, i was not present enough for them and decided to save them and myself by letting go of this marriage. The mental abuse was phenomenal and the invisible scars run deep. I am thankful to God that he protected us from him so many times in the past, he protected my children from contracting Hep C. I am so grateful to God! He finally cleaned up his act and i found a lovely guy and we married in 2013. My kids (29, 28 and 26) go visit him on Saturdays. It had to take a divorce for him to see the light. He regrets all he has done to us and is trying to make it up to our kids as much as possible. I pray for the peace that surpasses all understanding Gina. I pray the Lord will comfort you and take away your pain. Again im so sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace. God bless you Gina❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Praying for comfort, and continued healing. I understand your pain.. by the grace of God, my daughter turned 45 in January. She has been drug free for a little over a year now and is working hard at an inpatient facility to further her sobriety. I nearly lost her twice to drug overdose, it's only by God's mercy and grace that she's still here. Your tribute to your daughter is beautiful, thank you for sharing your love for her with us. 🫶💕

Thank you so much for your comment. Her father and I begged her to go in for treatment. I later found out that she had to be recesitated a few years before. It was the phone call I had been fearing for years. Sometimes I still can't believe she is gone. You are very fortunate. Please tell your daughter that I am rooting for her. And in the words written in lipstick on my daughter's mirror, "You got this. The end is worth the fight." ❤

I cried. I know your pain, my boy has been gone 9 years. Your grief will not go away but it will soften over time. Hold on to those sweet memories and let them carry you through. Hugs. The painting is beautiful.

Thank you so much for your comment. The death of a child is the worst pain there is as it goes against the natural order. Nine years. I'm sorry for your loss, as well.💔💔

Oh Gina, I’m so sorry. I barely know you, but I feel your pain. You have painted a lovely picture which has so much meaning! I doubt the pain will ever fully disappear, however I hope the happy beautiful moments will be remembered more as time passes. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Erica❤

Thank you for your kind message. Losing my daughter was brutally painful. It was actually quite a physical pain, as if someone had severed a piece of my body. Life keeps moving and I am trying to move along with it as best I can. Some days are more successful than others. I used to post multiple times a week but it's really hard now. People don't want to tune in to an art channel to hear gloom and doom, they want to be inspired. It's been harder to have days where my energy and spirits are high enough to be enthusiastic on video. I am trying, though. Everyone's journey through life is different. The past few years has yielded a lot of loss for me. But, I get up every morning hoping for a better day. Receiving kind messages from people like you is a big help. So thank you! 🥰

Aww you’re welcome! I’ve had some rough times too, & some people just don’t understand what grief is like & how it ebbs & flows through one’s days & life. I don’t mind listening, if you need a friend! All 3 of my children are alcoholic & smoke a lot of weed. I worry that they’ll use harder stuff. But they’re wasting their lives. Days go by where they haven’t done a thing. We really have a problem in our country & we don’t seem to be able to help our children. It’s tough, I know. Gina, you’re a lovely person & a talented artist! Channeling that talent may be what will work for you. The minute I sit down at my craft desk, I immerse myself in my project & think of all the interesting, quirky, funny & talented women I have met through RU-vid & I feel better! I may never meet any of them, but I do feel connected anyway! Next time you make a hidden paperclip, be sure & think of me! I’m in Lawrence, Kansas! Take care, Gina, I will pray for strength, grace & hope for you.❤

I just came across this video and wanted to say what a beautiful tribute to a beautiful young lady, i am so truly sorry for your loss ❤

@TheArtfulAddict 17 дней назад

Thank you so much. It was a difficult video to make. But I'm finding there truly can be healing through art. ❤

@@TheArtfulAddict watching you paint it i could see and feel the journey of your emotions as you were painting, it was raw and beautiful. I think it takes courage to let your emotions flow like that through art and i also see you in the painting too, the strong tree, bolder than all others, individual in shape and colour with your fairy by your side. Your video is such a gift to us, thank you ❤️🧚‍♀️

So very sorry for your loss. I know the pain you’re feeling as I too have lost loved ones to drugs. There are few families that haven’t experienced this pain unfortunately be it their own child, parent, sibling, friend. It’s so heartbreaking. My heart goes out to you and your family. This was such a beautiful tribute to your beautiful daughter. ❤️🙏

@TheArtfulAddict 7 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for your comment. It's such a tragedy to lose so many loved ones to drugs. I thought losing my father was tough, but losing my daughter, my beautiful baby girl, nearly broke me. Art journaling is a help, and I need all the help I can get. Thank you for your support. ❤

I “stumbled” on this video and first want to tell you that from one mother to another my heart aches for you. I, too, have a daughter born in 1991 that overdosed on drugs Dec 2022. Prescription drugs. After she and her fiancé were found nearly unconscious by my then 9 year old grandson, who had to call 911, they were arrested. We took their 3 children into our care so they would not end up in the system. When they got out of jail, they began counseling and I thought they were well on their way to recovery. And then my daughter did something stupid that almost closed the coffin on her life. She purchased something off the street that was laced with fentanyl. She literally died, but they were able to save her. Your video hit a special place in my heart. I could be in your shoes right now. Grieving the loss of my oldest daughter. But I’m not. I truly hope and pray that you are comforted by our Father in heaven as you now make your way through the hardest walk there is in this life. I’m so sorry!

Thank you, for sharing your story. Heroin was her drug of choice. She had been in the hospital for over a month as she had an abscess in her brain larger than a golf ball. Every day the nurses and doctors would tell her that she could not do ANY more drugs. She checked herself out of the hospital and apparently went home and did more drugs. She had 5x the lethal amount of fentanyl in her system. She had lost so many friends to drugs. Her, 'person's, as she called him, a previous boyfriend and then close friend, died from an overdose as well. She found him and tried to resuscitate him, but couldn't. She spiraled out of control afterwards. Such a waste of life, it breaks my heart. 💔

Thank you for your comment. I admit the grief can be overwhelming and the pain unbearable at times, but time keeps moving. Some days are better than others, but her birthday is pretty tough. Thank God for art journaling!
