Yes, thinking of that makes Alex still a radiant beauty (which she actually is normally)...

alex looks like a 58 year old woman in the pics posted by luna.

question is: when were those pics taken? if it was around her dad's death/funeral, then it's understandable. grief certainly takes its toll.

[Luna]

I think you all are right The photos were taken on Jan.20.2010 at the opening of Esbjerg.

True. I lost my father recently and it can take awhile to work out all the feelings associated with the loss. There are so many factors involved in grieving - all types of relationships whether good, bad and or ugly can take a toll in terms of grief. Over time, as all is sorted out, one does start to feel and even look better. I really hope Alex will have an easy time getting over the loss of her father.

How old are you all? That's called being nearly 46 and under the stress of losing a parent and clenching all the frowny facial muscles. Otherwise, she looks really good, as we all know.

ITA.

I think it's really crass to discuss Alex's appearance at her father's funeral. If she turned up looking like a million dollars people would complain too!

I agree with you Little_Star and it's nice to see you posting again.  Someone commented the other day, wondering where you were.

I am so sorry to hear that Clover  , I very much sympathize with you. I lost my mother nearly 4 years to breast cancer and my father 2 years later; It is true that grief is affecting a person all around, and it is also true that time can sort things out, but I have to tell you, the feeling of loss really never goes away. And I hope as well, that Alex will get better over time, because in the end life has to go on somehow. So, I big hug for you!

PeDe,
How nice of you to address my loss. The grieving process takes so many forms. I am also sorry about the loss of both of your parents in such a short period of time. You are right about life having to move forward and in some cases we carry the loss of loved ones with us far into the future. Again, I am so sorry about your loss and I do hope time will soften your feelings of loss. 

[PeDe]

your are very kind, Clover, thank you   . I trust the same will happen for you.

Thanks!

It's also called no photoshop and very little makeup. Imagine Mary with no photoshop and this little makeup..

A horror story?!


I feel for her at this moment and for what will follow.  Having lost both parents, I have this constant sense of solitude and the feeling of being alone in a small wooden boat with no sail in a vast ocean.  I hope Martin will be a source of strength for her.  Joachim is no longer in her inner circle, let's say, and I'm sure he can be of a support in other ways and ways which are unknown to us and less public.

Sorry Clover, I just saw your post now.  I really feel for you and this personal journey you are going through is something unexplainable.  I don't know what to say, except that when those more painful memories occur, remember, he always loved you, a father's role is forgiveness ... oh gosh ... sorry, I'm not very good at writing things down.  Just be good to yourself and talk to him as if he's sitting there with you ...

Purple,
I am so sorry you feel alone after losing both parents. I really do think you expressed the feeling very well, like being in a small wooden boat. I really hope you will find alternative anchors that will allow you to feel grounded once again. I do know it takes time, but I know you will feel grounded again and less out to sea as time passes.

Thanks so much, that means a lot to me!

Clover, PeDe and Purple - my condolences. Thank you all for being brave enough to share your personal stories and grief!

Purple that image of being out to sea in a small boat is so powerful. When I lost my father three years ago I remember saying to my husband "I feel as if the roof has fallen off the house." I realised that no matter how grown up you are, there is a basic and deep security in having your parents around in the world. Losing a parent is in the natural order of things but I found it one of the most profound and painful experiences of my life.
