Broken glass an omen. Glass breaks with herring imprints. The subject of Andy’s film, herring. Herring seems to be the common thread. Sounds like to me he was with you and trying to send you a message that it was ok to move on. Is it hard ? Yup, sure is. But knowing Andy is with you in spirit and is watching over you can be a comfort. Don’t be afraid to talk to him. He’ll find a way to get back to you. Sounds like maybe he already has.
Brilliantly written Jackie, as I reader and friend I can feel the journey you are taking illustrated here (with words, and word pictures!). A hard journey bursting at the seams with emotion, but a story of personal growth, too. Plus, moon jellyfish 🪼 ❤️
This is so beautifully articulated. Thank you for sharing such deeply personal feelings. I hope you found it cathartic. Sending you love as you continue in your progress x
Thank you, Jennifer. Sorry to hear you lost your father so young. I've come to understand that while loss is universal, grief is unique. We all grieve our losses differently and there is no right or wrong way
Jackie, it's your grief-flow journey, and you're defining it beautifully. I see you swimming your way forward with Andy as part of you, interwoven in how you see the world. Thank you for sharing.
This is so deeply moving Jackie. I was just thinking how wonderful it may be for you to create/reform a new piece of glass. Do you know Rachel Welford in Scarborough? She's a good friend & very sensitive glass artist who has just started to run sessions in fused glass. I'll see if I can message you her details.
So many cathartic processes & healing moments. Take care & look forward to dancing with you soon xxx

This is very good, and you have explored so many aspects symbolically. Well done.
Thank you so much, Stuart

Thanks so much for appreciating my word pictures and moon jellyfish 🪼 💙
And thanks for seeing the difficult journey - and how I’m growing along the way.
Much appreciated

Thank you so much, Sarah. Really appreciate your lovely words x
I break glass all the time. My father died 52 years ago. I was 21. I’ve not once cried .

Thank you so much, Viv, for your lovely comment.
I don't know Rachel, but I know she swims with Kate regularly. It would be lovely to find out more about her fused glass sessions. Thank you!
I look forward to dancing with you again soon too.
Take lots of care xxx
Thanks for sharing these experiences, Jackie. Breaking that glass coaster sounds so cathartic and auspicious. ✨
Thanks James. The glass coaster smashing was quite a moment! Auspicious - I love that. Fingers crossed! 🤞
