Green is my favourite colour too. I see it as hope, growth and what I call verdantising... the gentle art of becoming greener, inside and out. It made me feel for your mother, and grateful that we can choose a different story for the same colour. X

What a lovely, moving story Julia. I adore green in all its shades and am lucky to see it every morning when I look out on to the garden. I find it a very soothing and healing colour. x

What a tender touching story … and one of gentle transformation. Healing a Family Story. That’s actually very powerful.

Thank you so much Lisa for reading and sharing your thoughts. It wasn't until I thought about colours in my life that I remembered it.

Julia, who slipped and died? Her husband or someone else?

Her husband. I'll go back & make a change if that is not clear
