So lonely and frightened without my beautiful husband Ray.  Trying to make myself go for a walk this evening because I've gotten so ill and isolated but it's so hard. Everything that was once so easy and enjoyable now a terrible ordeal.

@autumn_raine18 grief is a journey that takes time and isn’t linear. I lost my partner of 20 years this past Spring and the emptiness is staggering at times.

@ autumn_raine18  it's unreal how someone who writes and makes people's happiness can be experiencing this level of pain. No words will be enough but still, maybe it's time for your readers to be the authors. I've known you since I was sixteen, not personally, just through your books. I'm not from the same continent, culture, faith, and yet I couldn't help but feel my heart totally break for you. I haven't known loss personally, but there's a verse on it in the Qur'an that says god doesn't burden a soul beyond that it can bear. The fact that your speaking now is proof that you can do bear the pain. How wonderful to be so loved. I'm sure your husband, rest his soul, is honoured to be remembered and cherished this way ❤️

@MochiChipzz I would have been so flattered to see your query about me at one time. I'm sorry too, it's just painful to see people continue to ask why I'm not published anymore, when I made posts here and on my Facebook page already. Having to re-tell people over and over is just terrible. It's been almost 3 years and it's like day one, nothing has gotten any easier. Every day is hell. Time doesn't heal like they claim, time steals, it's stealing more of him from me every day. I'm suffocated. I had always intended to donate a portion of any sales, if I got any, to marine & wildlife protection because, as I used to say, I'm a marine biologist in my day job. The last few days I've remembered that, it's not that I forgot I was going to do that, it's just that I haven't been able to think of publishing at all. Doing covers was a fun part of publishing but I stopped doing my covers after 4 in an 8 book series, back in 2021, I had contacted a male model whose image was perfect for a book in that series. A couple of days ago, after reading the messages here, I thought maybe I could try to start small, by finishing the last 4 covers in that series. So I contacted the male model and paid him for use of his image on my cover. As soon as I made the payment and he sent me the jpeg file image, I was violently ill. This is what it's like for me now, things that used to be so easy and fun, are now things that take monumental effort, hurt and make me ill. Thank you for your kind message.

@autumn_raine18 I completely understand that feeling and I apologize if my curiosity offended you in any way. I’m sorry for your loss, grief can be a lot on anyone and I hope that you find peace. Again I’m sorry to have drudged up such painful memories for you, that was never the intent and I’ll keep you in my prayers as you heal through this.

@EvaJenner99 @MochiChipzz  It honestly feels wrong to even reply, I don't know why, except that it feels like I shouldn't be here anymore because Ray died, my husband,  my best friend, my everything. I had already paid to get covers created for several books before Ray died and I thought I should try to finish the covers for the series I'd already paid to do. So tonight I purchased an image from a male model perfect for the character in a book that series. But it has made me so ill just contacting the model and purchasing his image, that I just can't continue evem to do the things I had paid for before Ray died. I don't mind getting messages, I used to love it, but I can't reply, becoming it's just too painful and like a nightmare to have to say that the reason my stories/books aren't available anymore and aren't on amazon, and the reason I deleted everything from my Facebook and Instagram pages is because Ray, my young, fit, actuve, healthy, husband died suddenly of a cardiac arrest. I do continue to read comments, so thank you for yours. But hopefully this will stop any need for others to ask why I and my stories have disappeared.

@autumn_raine18  Oh dear of course you shouldn’t just accept and deal with your hard work being stolen so easily . 
            Your time and effort for the past years are appreciated and trust me didn’t go unnoticed. 
            Professional is not about how much you made/make , it’s about the quality and skills you deliver in whatever you do . And yours didn’t disappoint. 
            Also I don’t know how it works with financial terms inside this platform So I can’t comment on that . I thought that paid stories is an option for the Writer to use and not something earned ? I might be wrong . 
            And I’m sorry if my comment offended you , It was not my intention at all . At the end you are the writer and it’s your own choice to do whatever you want . 
            I’m so sorry for your loss, They say that times will help with moving forward but I always tell my mom that it’s a lie . 
            You should be grieving in any way you see it suits you and I can’t imagine what you are going through. I hope that you doing better and again I apologize if I offended you in any kind of way .

Would love to know if first you are alright and second where and when I can read Crow. A few years back I read the book. I loved it so much but suddenly it was removed for the rightful reason. I was super sad, I still had to read many chapters. And I know that their are many other people with me. I would even love to pay for the book. Please will you consider?
