(Music: Priscilla Hernandez - The Willow’s Lullaby)

La Llorona "The Weeping Woman", is a character from Latin American folklore, a ghost of a mother mourning for her children, whom she killed herself.

Abandoned by her husband, a woman named Maria was left alone to raise her two sons, whom she instead drowned in a river out of grief and anger. Realizing what she had done, she searched for her children, but the river had already carried them away. Days later, she was found dead on the river bank. She had committed the two ultimate sins: murder, and suicide. Because of her sins, she is condemned to wander the earth until she finds the bodies of her children.
La Llorona kidnaps wandering children at night, mistaking them for her own. She begs the heavens for forgiveness, and drowns the children she kidnaps. She appears at night or in the late evening by rivers or lakes, wearing a white gown with a veil.

I've known about Weeping Woman (also known as Women in White) for a good few years. When the movie La Llorona came out, I didn't know that was the original translation for the name. I happened across the English translation and just had a "oooooohhhh, I'm so stupid." moment.
Story time over, lovely art. You definitely got the creepy factor across and the emotions of the woman.

The story of La Llorona... The first time I heard about it was at "La Llorona", the ninth episode of Season 2 of Grimm .

She looks so beautyfull and tragic in her own way, I love it.

I'm immediately reminded of the (old) Bride in the Attic in the Disney ride The Haunted Mansion, and its Disneyland Paris counterpart, The Phantom Manor for some reason.

Amazing

I also heard the versions of this, that La Llorona is a bride left by her groom before wedding or an Latin American goddess, trying to warn her people, before the European conquesters arrived
