what a sad story, I'm so sorry for your loss. But this layout is awesome. Great masking in the background and all the details are matching together fabulous.
Oh Rochelle, I am so sorry for your loss!! Very sad story and I know that only time will heal the heart and soul. However,this is an awesome page!!! totally KEWL!!!!! LOVE what you did!! Hugs dear friend!! ~Kat
Awesome lo, even though it is awfully tragic! I, too, had a friend that committed suicide, so I know how devistating it is! He had only been married for the 3rd time for less than a year when he couldn't take it any longer and put a gun to his head! I should have read between the lines the last time I talked to him, but I didn't, and I kick myself all the time for not being more observant because just maybe he would have listened to me and left her instead of thinking the only way out was by death! I felt that way in my 2nd marriage and begged God every night to take me home with Him, and now I thank God that He gave me the strength to leave for GOOD because I found my knight in shinning armour and we've been happily married for 33 yrs. now! I also wan to thank you for the gallery visit! I really appreciate it! Linda
heartbreaking! Powerful page...I hate when people feel no hope. We had a 10 year old girl near us hang herself because of bullying last week! ugh...so painful!
It's so difficut to scrap the darker side of life. You did it beautifull and soulfully too! So sorry for your loss maybe this will help you move forward and remember the good times with your friend. Hugs to you sweetheart! ~ Dawna
wow - tragic. So final, so sad as you very powerfully express. I am sorry - sometimes there are no other ways to wrap your thoughts around such a big tragedy. Scrapping is so very theraputic. deeply sorry and may Bob finally have rest and peace. Your LO is beautiful and haunting and sad rolled together.
beautiful creation in rememberance of your special friend....my heart goes out to you and you know I know how you feel....this wonderful journalling I hope will help ease your pain
Great LO!!!!!!! Losing your friend was not great. Sorry for your loss from my heart. I know how it feels. I lost one last year. We were great friends. Hugs
What a wonderful way to mourn the loss of your friend. Sometimes scrapping our feelings, helps us to better understand them. So sorry for your loss. Big Hugs!
I hope that creating this was therapeutic for you; so sorry for the loss of your friend, and it's so much harder to lose them that way( I lost a friend to suicide when I was 19 and still think about him often)your verse is great and everything here works together so well(BTW-half the time I end up covering up my misting/masking attempts with something else too!!)
So sorry for your loss.Hope that through the creative outlet, that is scrapbooking, you have found some closure. Losing someone especially in this way is devastating for those left behind to deal with the loss...
Well this was a sad way of waking up this morning!! You did a great job on it and I hope it does give you some kind of closure. It is hard to move on when you don't have a memorial or anything to be able to say good bye!! He was a great guy and was a lot of fun to be around. I will too will miss him!! RIP Bob!!
Rochelle, that page is sad and beautiful at the same time. I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. I'm sure this was a difficult page to do, but hopefully it will help you heal. Your poem is brilliant. I love the paper, the trees, the gate. It's all very fitting.
Rochelle, I know what your going thru, and its heart wrenching....I lost a good friend a few months back, Pam, so tragic and so unecessary......I got great comfort from my page, Hope you do from this,....its awesome!
Oh my gosh - such a tragic story. I hope this creative and symbolic lo helped you in some ways to find closure and acceptance of your friend's untimely death.
WOW Rochelle.... what a powerful lo & statement! Suicide mentallity eludes most people until it affects them. dh's nephew took his life.. what a shock, waste & tragedy. Even after 15 years we are still feeling the repercusion's of his decision. Have since found a quote that made sense...... "Suicide is a permanate solution to a temorary problem". TFS!
Wow, your layout is awesome. Very sad that you lost your friend tho but I'm glad that making this layout has helped you thru your loss a bit. I lost my best friend of 50 years ten years ago and to this day still can't bring myself to look at pictures. I lose it every time.
How hard on your heart this is. I am so glad you scrapped this for some therapy. It really helps relieve stress and emotion. I love how you went dark and symbolic on this page, and I am glad one of my pages inspired you to take it to this very deep level. I love your poem. fave
OMG, deeply touching and moving tribute page. It must have been very difficult for you to do. All of your symbolism is just perfect. A heartfelt way to say goodbye. Sorry for your loss.
The journal card reads: What Demons chased you Up the hill to watch flames Dance through your dreams; With gun in hand. What demons chased you My friend, so Dark, so Final - No Pretend. No call. No note. No Answers Why, in the Dark of night - BANG Goodbye. by me. I lost my friend of 20+ years on 7/15/11 and found out about it on his birthday August 3rd. He was not close to his family so I hadn't met any of them. This is my way to say goodbye. Now hopefully, I can get it out of my mind! I was inspired by Cheryl's (C Mom Go) Amityville Horror which is such a great lo! I used a combo of products I had along with Scraps of Darkness great October kit. I hadn't planned on putting the black ribbon roses on it until I decided to mist a ray of sun in the corner...it didn't work but I have a nice orange dot under the ribbon! To understand the flames....prior to shooting himself, he lite everything he owned on fire. He was a great friend to me and will be missed. Depressing I know but Thanks for Looking! Almost forgot, the moss was from my great sister, Chipboard Queen! Thanks!
