(translator was used, I hope the information was conveyed correctly)

I sincerely apologize for not being able to deliver your orders on time. Most likely, the delay will be 1-2 weeks (this applies more to orders for which the due date is already approaching). If you suddenly need art very urgently, please write to me about it and I will try to come up with something and do it at any cost, unfortunately, I will not be able to refund the funds you paid due to payment restrictions between countries, but you will definitely receive your art! And as soon as I sort out the situation and problems a little, I will contact everyone who had to wait longer for their art and you will receive a free commission from me as moral compensation.
Please forgive me again!

I do not know where to start, but I think it is worth describing the situation in more detail. I know it might seem like I'm just looking for excuses. It would be better if these were really excuses, not reality.

Three weeks ago, my mother was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of PE(Pulmonary Embolism) (a seal came off and got stuck on the way to the lungs). This is a dangerous disease, but with careful health management, you can live with it for quite a long time. But a week later, it turned out that my mother had pancreatic cancer with metastases, it is impossible to know for sure, but I am thinking it is in one of the last stages.
These last two weeks I have been gathering my courage, trying to get over and cope with stress, but I still tried to work on your orders and not be discouraged.

I am currently staying at my parents' apartment. I came here from the city where I live and rent an apartment. I will stay with my mom indefinitely, as she needs help and support right now. It is very difficult for mom to do simple household chores and she needs medicines, help with doctors, cleaning, cooking.

To start cancer treatment, you need to do a biopsy, but as it turns out, due to the diagnosis of PE, this cannot be done, as the bleeding will open and it will be impossible to stop. Therefore, it remains to be hoped that mom will have time to recover a little and live to receive cancer treatment.

Every day my mental state is on the edge, it's hard to watch your loved one fade in front of your eyes, how she loses weight, how she can't eat. There's also a lot of physical work left to help with, so when I get home, I collapse and can barely find an hour or two to draw.

Please, if you feel that your stomach often hurts after eating, your legs swell, or you just feel small but constant body aches, go to the doctor. I don't want to scare you, and you're probably fine, but don't forget to constantly monitor your health and get a full checkup if possible. Cancer is a vile disease, it's hard to notice in the early stages.

I'm also writing this, not to cause pity, just to talk about the situation, share what's on my mind and apologize to the customers.
I really hope that you can understand me and not get angry at such tactlessness on my part.


Take care of yourself and your loved ones.
