I’m very sorry to hear about your mom 🩵 it’s sweet you want to feel closer to her.

Having just made my way through HoL this summer, I can tell you that it is indeed a slog. The only thing advice I can really give is to stick with it and take all the time you need to get through it. I thought it was pretty slow to start, and Johnny’s sections can be infuriating, but the end result is a fun, creative, utterly unnerving experience.
