I lost my Mum six years ago and a very good friend of mine who had been through it told me something that has always stayed with me - you never get over it, you simply learn to live with it. 🥰
So true, Kellie. It is basically part of you. Also a part that nobody can take away from you, in a good way also. I tried to transfer it into a strength. Grief is hard. I count 8 years now. But it is so different now. The change took years, but the grief changes, it becomes easier.
Eva, thank you for sharing your journey. My great loss came in November, so I completely relate to the anxiety and grief rising to the surface as the date approaches. I’m grateful to be able to sit listening to you, nodding and nodding. It’s a real gift, what you’re doing. We’re vulnerable and overwhelmed right now, and while that’s not easy or fun, it’s real. And it’s appreciated by me, and I’m sure by many others. 💔❤️
Eva I am so blessed to have found your channel. I found your channel last October. Then I sadly realized we shared a connection of our Moms passed away in October, my Mama passed away on October 15, 2010. So I'm coming up on the 10 year mark. Everyday is a day of grief when a close loved one passes away. Grief is forever evolving no day looks the same and no day feels the same. I wish you and Alen the best! Your videos are cathartic for me and many others. I will be praying for your Dad, your siblings, your Mom's twin, and all your family and friends, you and Alen. Much love and blessings to you and yours! - Lydia
I really appreciate your vlogs and everything you are doing. I also lost a parent, now 8 years ago. It will always be a great pain, but what helped me was putting my grief into art work and allow moments or periods of down - these times just overwhelmed me I also like the idea of my dad to be still around me, so I also talk to him. Of course I know he is not anymore, but the idea of his spirit guarding me really helps me....You and Alan are such a nice couple! Lots of love from Germany.
Grief affects us all in different ways, my dad as been gone now for 16 years it’s probably only been in the last decade I can openly talk about him without bursting into tears. So what I am trying to say, is take your sweet time, remember your dear mum however you choose to do, with all the tears, take time to smile as I’m sure she won’t want you to hang onto your pain for too long xx 😘 never apologise this is your journey xx
Thanks for sharing....I feel like talking about our struggles helps a lot. it’s not bringing us down, it’s real life and we can all support each other in being vulnerable and feeling our pains. ❤️
i‘ve had a shit week and this video made me feel very comforted. thank you eva, sending lots of love and light for this coming month (october is my fav!!
The first year is the hardest -- so many anniversaries to be aware of the absence and remember how times used to be. It does get easier with time as you build new traditions, make new memories, to balance the sense of loss. It's good you are in touch with your feelings and you express yourself. All the best!
An hope you get through this month gently. You are such an inspiration and so very entertaining love it when a new blog pings up. Stay strong but allows the the grief and tears to come. Xxx
I know this up and down feeling so well. I lost my husband to cancer on December 5th, 2018. This year is the second without him. In these days it hits me more intensely and I have to cry more often. I miss him so much. My daughters and I are getting along well now. But there are always moments when you are deeply trusting and realize again that you can no longer share anything with him. I wish you lots of strengh. It takes time to process it all. Our loved ones will always be in our hearts
Everything you are feeling is normal Eva. Lost my dad...It's a rollercoaster. Grief is indescribable. The next few weeks will be so tough. I felt slight relief after the first anniversary....I hope you will too
feeling the anxiety and grief is probably the only way to make it to the other side but when you’re in it, its like it’s never ending :( sending you love and healing 💕
I lost my mom, dear, and I still miss her terribly! It is normal to feel the way you are feeling. We want them , to reach the light, and Rest In Peace. Sending you a hug and prayers. I can be your mother, and I still miss her. She was my best friend. Take care and stay safe. 💖🙏🌈💫🌈🙏💖
It’s alright to cry Eva, it’s part of the grieving process. Cry whenever and wherever you need to, whether on camera or off camera. The more you suppress the crying, the more your prolong the healing process. Love, peace and comfort to you. ❤️❤️❤️
My mother died many years ago, 3 days before Christmas. The first anniversary loomed, and everywhere was in festive mode, which didn't help my grief. In the end, I decided to mark the day by doing something she and I would have enjoyed doing together and dragged my husband off to Hampton Court! I still try to do something on the anniversary, although this year may be rather different, depending on the pandemic. Just do what you feel - cry, sit quietly, talk, or even laugh as you remember the fun times you shared
Hi Eva, I just want to say how brave you are. I haven't really had the confidence to talk about it but I too am dealing with a very recent bereavement and you are an inspiration. Take care of yourself and cry as much as you want. Our lives are annoyingly similar in that regard but you are doing so well. Thank you so much for being you and take all the time you need. Stay safe, lots of love and hugs and take care xxx
❤ I have no words to convey what I would wish to. I wish the loss of your mum and Olive had never happened, I wish I could soothe you and help you with your grieve. That’s because I am mindful of the pain you are in. However, grieving is your right and I have no right to intrude. Just want you to know I am thinking of you a great deal. I am certain sharing you will be making a difference. You have the right to be heard, seen and listened to. I think that as a society we silence people in grief and that isn’t Ok. Take care and love to you both xx
Eva, I lost my Dad in March, I totally get how you are feeling, it seems to hit me in waves. And boy when it hits, it feels like I’ve been hit by a bus. Take care xxx
You are not bringing anyone down it’s part of something those who have lost someone go through. Don’t suppress your feelings they need to be dealt with ~ suppression just delays the process. It’s raw but it’s real life. Sending you hugs & strength. 💐
Dear Eva. I wish I could hug you. Since my moms death in 2018, I have gone through tons of emotions from day to day. I tend to do most of my crying in the shower. I’m considering going back to therapist and talk about my healing process. Be good. Love and hugs ❤️❤️
Eva just wanted to send a big hug lovely, I do understand what's happening, and I think you're so brave, try to take it all step at a time, big hugs & take care xxxx
It’s alright to cry Eva, it’s part of the grieving process. Cry whenever and wherever you need to, whether on camera or off camera. The more you suppress the crying, the more your prolong the healing process. Love, peace and comfort to you.
I’m so sorry you’re feeling bad. I lost my mum on 17th October last year, and, like you I am struggling with the first anniversary looming on the horizon. The last year has been awful because as well as losing my mum, my mother in law died 5 days later, then three months after that my husband left me for someone else! As if these things aren’t enough to cope with we then had lockdown! Trying to be positive has been virtually impossible but now freshly divorced and using my maiden name, I am finally trying to put it all behind me and move forward. I think you’re doing well by posting content when you can and talking about your feelings. It really does help to let it all out, but at the same time if you don’t feel like it then that’s good too. Do what feels right for you. Take care x
Neom should treat you to your favourite products. Yes, agree! Hydro therapy is SO lovely. Poor girl, you have your issues and then a bloody pandemic turns up ( you couldn't make this stuff up! ) No rules, have several baths if you want, just take little steps, be kind to yourself, suspect your Mum would be proud of you. We all send you good thoughts.Through all this you have been treating us to interesting content, bless you! YOU CAN DO THIS, WE CAN DO THIS, LET'S ROCK!👍⭐️👏🏻🌸❤️
Think of what you have been through this year- continuing pandemic and more isolation (but thankfully you have Alen), global upheaval, the loss of your mother, and more. It's so much stress on a person only to have to handle the natural grief alone, but you have had to do it amid all of this. You are strong-- and vulnerability is not the opposite of strength. Sending you love, hugs, support. xo
Oh Eva .. it’s difficult to lose a parent . It’s wonderful that you are being so open about your little struggles at the moment . You are so lovely , no need to apologise you must deal with these things in your own time and in your own way. I always Enjoy your vlogs .& hope you manage to have a happy rest of the week . X x x
Thank you so much for your vlog, 1 you saved the man overboard :-) 2 you and your husband are so polite and respectful of each other 3 I stayed in bed this morning and felt s**t, still feel in that mood 12 hours later, thank you, your comments made it ok to feel like that, big hugs to you :-)
Awww gorgeous hang in there. Cry away as it will relieve the heaviness in your heart. You are a true empath. Have you ever thought about relocating from London to a more rural location. Cities can be so overwhelming to an empath X
So much love to you Eva. Very courageous to be so real in this vlog. Very challenging approaching the first anniversary in particular and you are right to be so gentle with yourself. X
Hi eva I know just how you feel about the loss of your mum I lost both my mum and dad in 2018 3 months apart mum in july and dad in October I would like to tell you it gets easier but it doesn't I still have very bad days I was like you very close to my mum but my husband always tells me to cherish the time I spent with her our shopping trips and many adventures at least you have a kind husband like Alen I'm so lucky I also have a kind and supportive husband when days are hard he's a shoulder to cry on try and keep strong and think of all the good times you had with your mum take care Sarah
Aww Eva you are so incredibly strong to share these vulnerable moments with us. Cry as much and often as you need, it's all part of the process. All of us have so much love for you here and your videos bring us such joy, we're all standing with you. Sending light your way
Hello, can you please do a ‘A perfume for each woman inside me ‘ A fellow fragrance reviewer did it and I was intrigued by the notion. So basically which fragrance would you choose if you were the following: - The Eccentric / Unique Woman - Superhero Woman - Queen/ Royalty/ Classy woman - Romantic/ Wistful Dreamer - Nurturer / Mom - Mysterious Woman/ (international spy) - The Adventurous Woman/ hunting in the jungle to climbing mountains. Exploring every city there is to explore - The Creative / Actor/ Artist/ Musician - Executive Boss - Cheerful happy go lucky Woman - Mystical Creature / Elven Princess/ Woodland Fairy - The Seductress - The Independent Woman Thankyou!!
Eva, Thank you so much for uploading this vlog. I feel inspired by your showing your feelings here and for showing your vulnerability. I think it is so brave of you to share this aspect of your life with us, in such an honest way. Thank you!
Beautiful girl, just be how you are. There's no judgement here. Grief is hard and as Glennon Doyle says "we can do hard things". Grief is not straight forward or linear - it is a journey and sometimes it just feels sooooo rubbish. Thinking of you.
Sending you love, you aren't bringing us down. Sending virtual hugs. The grief path is so unpredictable. My go to bath product is a wedge from a big lush bubble bar x
Well, the was a nice surprise, after your comment about taking some time off in October. That is totally understandable, but I agree...its probably good to keep busy. And you aren't bringing us down. We are here because we love you and your vlogs. Take good care of yourself. Aroha from New Zealand.
Eva, You are not going to stop feeling sad from the death of your mom. It has been 12 years since my mom’s death. There are moments where I cry because I miss her so much. Allow yourself to feel all of your emotions. Many hugs to you.
Oh love, the first anniversary is always difficult. It’s ok to take time off work if you need to, although conversely a routine helps too. Grief is a natural thing and you’ve got to take it slowly. Lots of treats and self love xxx
Please don't apologise dear Eva. I know how hard it is to lose your Mum... I was 30 with a baby when I Iost mine. The pain and grief was unbearable. There is absolutely nothing wrong with sharing your thoughts and feelings. It encourages your followers to do the same. It is far healthier that way. I love your videos. You are a naturally pretty young woman with a great eye for elegance and style. So refreshing. Some of these vloggers have the style and panache of a toilet brush. Sorry to be catty but some of them make me cringe! Bless you and look after yourself x
Eva my heart goes out to you. Its hard it's very hard indeed. Drop in here when you can. Its really lovely to see you,you're such a lovely gentle person. Mind yourself XX
Eva you are doing all the right things for you to deal with your loss . everyone deals with struggles in their own way. I love the way you are taking care of yourself and I take inspiration from you so thank you for that and take each day as it comes and keep moving forward. You have a wonderful kind man by your side and try and see the positives in each day . lots of love to you and Alan xxx
Gorgeous Eva, thank you for sharing your life with us. We are so lucky to be apart of your life and take any time you need. Cry, have baths, try to relax, take time for yourself. Sending lots of love XXXX
I totally understand you grieving, i too am grieving and each day is different, today is rough and then tomorrow may be a bit easier. Hang in there, pray and yes keep busy.
Hey Eva 💜 Please be kind to yourself - when people grieve they usually have all the distractions of "normal" life to help them through and they definitely don't usually have the many anxieties of a global pandemic to deal with simultaneously. I can see that you're frustrated by your emotions so I just wanted to remind you of that and send my love. Take care, lovely x
I’m so sorry about your Mom, Eva. I know it will be so difficult to get use to life without her, but I hope as the years go by, October’s get easier for you. My best wishes go out to you and your mental health. 💞💞
Sending you a virtual big hug 🌺. I think we are all on a roller coaster of emotions at the moment and anniversaries are very hard. Take care and we’re all here, thinking of you and wishing you well.
Isn't it so strange, Eva, that it's been a year since The Thing With Feathers descended upon you? And it isn't it so strange that I felt - and still feel - a part of that grief myself; a grief for someone I've never known who's the mother of someone I've only known through my laptop? I hope me sharing a very small part of it will lessen your burden. I reiterate my condolences to you and your family. You are not alone.
Eva, it's to be expected that this month in particular will be very difficult for you - please don't apologise for any of this. Take care, sending lots of love.
Sending you lots of love. At the end of the month it will be three years since I lost my mum and like you I felt my mood drop on the first of October. Be kind to yourself, especially this month. Let yourself feel how you need to. Xxx
Eva, you are such a lovely genuine lady, you sharing you're grief procces is very brave, it certainly doesn't bring us down, were all here for you, bless you x
I can’t watch this until the end. I totally get where your head is at and I’ve been there. It was quite the process for me too. I found that if my thoughts started to wonder into sad Territory I’d quickly remind myself of a really happy,funny moment or just when I felt my most content while in there company. My Nan stepped in as a father figure from a young age and thoughts she was stricter than my mum with a no nonsense attitude she also had the funniest most tongue in cheek sense of humour and we’d often find ourselves in fits of laughter over the smallest thing. She was also so fascinating to me because she was so talented at making, repairing and repurposing things and that really rubbed off. So again it’s okay to be with your sad thoughts and this is no way a criticism but my advice is that if you catch yourself try and focus on a moment that was so hilarious together or when your mum did something that you found so incredible. I thank my Nan for the moment and tell her “ wasn’t I so very lucky to have you?” And then I go on with the day trying to see the more beautiful details knowing the very last thing she would want is to know I’m sad. I try to direct my thoughts to a celebration of life and sprit rather than focusing my loss and I’ve had a few more years to put this into practice but it honestly has helped me. I love your content and your honesty, I love that you and Allen can go from informed cultural and fashion commentators to a little old married couple in their 70’s sitting on a park bench eating sandwiches. So sweet! I’m alway curious to see what you guys are upto next as we live in a similar way. I love a good concept store,market and just wondering around London or other cities exploring but I do find this video just a little heavy with the Sunday blues creeping in too so I’m going to repot some plants into pots I got from goodhood on curtain rd. (do you know it? I think you would love it.) Make some coffee and listen to some Eric Satie. Happy SundayXx
I think this is only possible after going through the hard-core ' swim in grief. It took me 4 years before I could talk about my dad's death without crying
I wish I could give you a hug. You have every right to feel as you're feeling, and you shouldn't feel bad for expressing what you're going through with us, your audience. We're here for you. Sending you lots of love.
I lost my Mum six years ago and a very good friend of mine who had been through it told me something that has always stayed with me - you never get over it, you simply learn to live with it. 🥰
I believe this too. I lost my mum last January and I think about her everyday, and that's ok.
This so so true, neatly 3 years for me and the grief path is never predictable x
So true.
So true, Kellie. It is basically part of you. Also a part that nobody can take away from you, in a good way also. I tried to transfer it into a strength. Grief is hard. I count 8 years now. But it is so different now. The change took years, but the grief changes, it becomes easier.
Yes that's so so true
Eva, thank you for sharing your journey. My great loss came in November, so I completely relate to the anxiety and grief rising to the surface as the date approaches. I’m grateful to be able to sit listening to you, nodding and nodding. It’s a real gift, what you’re doing. We’re vulnerable and overwhelmed right now, and while that’s not easy or fun, it’s real.

You and Alen are so polite to each-other, it’s so cute! Sending you much love Eva x

This month is hard for myself and my family too. My brother died 8 years ago the 2nd. Sending you light and love 💜
Beautiful girl, just be how you are. There's no judgement here. Grief is hard and as Glennon Doyle says "we can do hard things". Grief is not straight forward or linear - it is a journey and sometimes it just feels sooooo rubbish. Thinking of you.
you are such a beautiful soul, thank you for sharing with us your bravery. I promise you're not alone in this. Lots and lots of love xx
Yesterday marked 6 months as my mother died, I understand you so well... hold tight, Eva, lots of hugs to you.

Well, the was a nice surprise, after your comment about taking some time off in October. That is totally understandable, but I agree...its probably good to keep busy. And you aren't bringing us down. We are here because we love you and your vlogs. Take good care of yourself. Aroha from New Zealand.
I love your vlogs,, you are an inspiration
Eva, You are not going to stop feeling sad from the death of your mom. It has been 12 years since my mom’s death. There are moments where I cry because I miss her so much. Allow yourself to feel all of your emotions. Many hugs to you.
This is so lovely Eva thinking of you I can’t believe it’s a year since your heartbreaking loss. Take care of yourself ❤️🌹
Oh love, the first anniversary is always difficult. It’s ok to take time off work if you need to, although conversely a routine helps too. Grief is a natural thing and you’ve got to take it slowly. Lots of treats and self love xxx
Please don't apologise dear Eva. I know how hard it is to lose your Mum... I was 30 with a baby when I Iost mine. The pain and grief was unbearable.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with sharing your thoughts and feelings. It encourages your followers to do the same. It is far healthier that way.
I love your videos. You are a naturally pretty young woman with a great eye for elegance and style. So refreshing. Some of these vloggers have the style and panache of a toilet brush. Sorry to be catty but some of them make me cringe!
Bless you and look after yourself x
Eva my heart goes out to you. Its hard it's very hard indeed. Drop in here when you can. Its really lovely to see you,you're such a lovely gentle person. Mind yourself XX
I hope you have a nice week, Eva. Take care. Thinking of you.
Sending you love and light. I know it sounds crass but it WILL get better.
Eva you are doing all the right things for you to deal with your loss . everyone deals with struggles in their own way. I love the way you are taking care of yourself and I take inspiration from you so thank you for that and take each day as it comes and keep moving forward. You have a wonderful kind man by your side and try and see the positives in each day . lots of love to you and Alan xxx
You’re doing great Eva, take care 💖
Hope you are feeling better.
Gorgeous Eva, thank you for sharing your life with us. We are so lucky to be apart of your life and take any time you need. Cry, have baths, try to relax, take time for yourself. Sending lots of love XXXX
Eva, I'm so sorry ❤️.
I love you Eva❤️ you could never bring us down.
Take care, Eva. You deserve all of the happiness x
💕
I totally understand you grieving, i too am grieving and each day is different, today is rough and then tomorrow may be a bit easier. Hang in there, pray and yes keep busy.
Hey Eva 💜 Please be kind to yourself - when people grieve they usually have all the distractions of "normal" life to help them through and they definitely don't usually have the many anxieties of a global pandemic to deal with simultaneously. I can see that you're frustrated by your emotions so I just wanted to remind you of that and send my love. Take care, lovely x
I’m so sorry about your Mom, Eva. I know it will be so difficult to get use to life without her, but I hope as the years go by, October’s get easier for you.
My best wishes go out to you and your mental health. 💞💞
my darling, lots of love! we're with you
Oh Eva, I wanted to hug you. I'm in the US, but I would if I could. I've watched you for years and wish we were neighbors.
Sending you a virtual big hug 🌺. I think we are all on a roller coaster of emotions at the moment and anniversaries are very hard. Take care and we’re all here, thinking of you and wishing you well.
Isn't it so strange, Eva, that it's been a year since The Thing With Feathers descended upon you? And it isn't it so strange that I felt - and still feel - a part of that grief myself; a grief for someone I've never known who's the mother of someone I've only known through my laptop? I hope me sharing a very small part of it will lessen your burden. I reiterate my condolences to you and your family. You are not alone.
Eva, it's to be expected that this month in particular will be very difficult for you - please don't apologise for any of this. Take care, sending lots of love.
Big hugs to you, Eva!
Sending you lots of love. At the end of the month it will be three years since I lost my mum and like you I felt my mood drop on the first of October. Be kind to yourself, especially this month. Let yourself feel how you need to. Xxx
Eva, you are such a lovely genuine lady, you sharing you're grief procces is very brave, it certainly doesn't bring us down, were all here for you, bless you x
Watching you from India, Eva! Stay strong. Sending you hugs xx
🌈💖🙏Sending you love & light, Eva🍀🌈
I can’t watch this until the end. I totally get where your head is at and I’ve been there. It was quite the process for me too. I found that if my thoughts started to wonder into sad Territory I’d quickly remind myself of a really happy,funny moment or just when I felt my most content while in there company. My Nan stepped in as a father figure from a young age and thoughts she was stricter than my mum with a no nonsense attitude she also had the funniest most tongue in cheek sense of humour and we’d often find ourselves in fits of laughter over the smallest thing. She was also so fascinating to me because she was so talented at making, repairing and repurposing things and that really rubbed off. So again it’s okay to be with your sad thoughts and this is no way a criticism but my advice is that if you catch yourself try and focus on a moment that was so hilarious together or when your mum did something that you found so incredible. I thank my Nan for the moment and tell her “ wasn’t I so very lucky to have you?” And then I go on with the day trying to see the more beautiful details knowing the very last thing she would want is to know I’m sad. I try to direct my thoughts to a celebration of life and sprit rather than focusing my loss and I’ve had a few more years to put this into practice but it honestly has helped me. I love your content and your honesty, I love that you and Allen can go from informed cultural and fashion commentators to a little old married couple in their 70’s sitting on a park bench eating sandwiches. So sweet! I’m alway curious to see what you guys are upto next as we live in a similar way. I love a good concept store,market and just wondering around London or other cities exploring but I do find this video just a little heavy with the Sunday blues creeping in too so I’m going to repot some plants into pots I got from goodhood on curtain rd. (do you know it? I think you would love it.) Make some coffee and listen to some Eric Satie. Happy SundayXx
I think this is only possible after going through the hard-core ' swim in grief. It took me 4 years before I could talk about my dad's death without crying
❤️ thank you for sharing your experience. It will help others and I hope it helps you lift a weight of your shoulders.
I wish I could give you a hug. You have every right to feel as you're feeling, and you shouldn't feel bad for expressing what you're going through with us, your audience. We're here for you. Sending you lots of love.
Big hugs to you sweetie.
Sending lots of love and strength your way Xx
