Description:

This is a letter swap for anyone who's lost someone you loved deeply. It's a chance to talk about and celebrate that person's life.

This is based on a letter swap from last year from @oliviarrow She has given me the okay to host this one.

Around this time of year I grieve the loss of my Mother. She passed away December 1, 1994. This time of year makes me sad and sharing this grieve with someone helps.

Your loss doesn't have to be recent, you do not have to share the details about what happened or talk about anything painful to you in regards to the loss. All that matters is that you are welcomed to share whatever you are comfortable with about the person (or persons) you love and miss so much.

You may type or handwrite your letter. Please make sure it is at least 2 pages.

The main thing I ask is that no one flakes on this. It's a sensitive topic and would be so hurtful to be flaked on, so please don't join unless you can commit to sending.

Requirements:

1: A filled out profile. What is a filled out profile – that is more than a few paragraphs. It lists likes and dislikes, favorite craft types etc.

2: No recent 1s or 3s

3: Must log in 2 days prior to partner assignments.

4: Must not have any overdue/late swaps on dash.

5: I reserve the right to ban as necessary

6: I will ANGEL this swap after the required rating has been left to your partner.

7: NO unrated newbies at this time.

8: Remember to include your swap name and swap ID in your letter

This might still be too painful for me as I lost my husband the day after Christmas 2011 while I was laid up in a nursing home. Sooo I will think about it.

I made a USA one for this swap because I like this idea a lot.

@momskii I am sorry for your loss. Sometimes it helps to just talk about it.

i've got it on my watch list for the moment until i clear out some of my "sent" swaps so i can join in. it is very nice littletiscrafty to have someone to share your feelings of loss with. someone who understands and is compassionate in their speaking with you about it. we all grieve in different ways but i find it's a peaceful feeling that comes over you when you're able to talk about it with someone who cares. thanks for hosting....
