my mother passed away

[danceboy]

On Sunday afternoon my mother passed away in her home. My sister found her.

I've been in NY since then, and I'll be here for a few more days, and I'm stealing ricevermicelli and schr0dinger to join me for two.

If I'd just recently started making plans with you for the first time in years, please accept my apologies for just not doing anything right now.

I'm kind of numb with bursts of sobbing.

I want my mommy.

[danceboy.livejournal.com]

It mostly is. Thank you very much.

i am so so sorry, and as i said, sending hugs. and i hope my pictures do what good they can. thinking of all of you.

[danceboy.livejournal.com]

Thank you. They're beautiful, and I'm putting them in the casket with her. If there's gloating to other grandmothers after death, she'll be doing it, and I want her to be armed.

Again, thank you very much.

Oh, I'm so, so sorry. Baruch dayan emet.

If you are sitting shiva at all, please advise.

*hugs*

Thank you very much. And I don't know. I feel like that would be the right thing, for me, for propriety, etc. But this house is not fit for people, and I feel it would be the wrong thing for schr0dinger. I don't know. I don't know what to do. I just, I, I don't know. I'm sorry.

Forget the house. The purpose is to have people around you at a time of crisis.

Childcare is an understandable concern, but this is not the time to subsume your own needs to his. Arrangements can be made.

-- Which isn't meant to put strain on your obviously drained cope reserves, but only to encourage you to take what you need, and to ask for any help you need in doing it. If you put it out there, to whatever community you or your family have there (and here), the community will respond.

*HUGS*

Oh hun, i'm so sorry. Wish I could be nearby to give hugs and help.

[danceboy.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I like hugs. I need hugs. My sister is not the hugging type.

Thank you very much.

My deepest sympathy

[sweetmmeblue.livejournal.com]

There are never good words at this time but may her memory and your memories of her, be a blessing.

[danceboy.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much. They are. Mostly.

[clara-girl.livejournal.com]

my thoughts are with you... i'm so, very sorry.

[danceboy.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much. I'd been missing being in my communities, in my friends thoughts, and I miss that much more now. Thank you.

[minerva42]

I'm so sorry, dear. You'll be in my thoughts.

[danceboy.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much. I'd been feeling out of my friends thoughts lately, and I was just starting to try to fix that. I miss it much more now. Thank you.

[dreams-of-wings.livejournal.com]

I love you tons and you're in my thoughts.

[danceboy.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss. We're not far away, if you should need anything or if there's anything we can do to help. *hugs*

Thank you very much.

[danceboy.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much.

[athenasbanquet.livejournal.com]

I am so, so sorry for your loss. I'm thinking of you, and if there's anything more concrete I can do please let me know - I'm also not far.

[danceboy.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much. Oh, and you should come over and bring... was it Inception? Not a shiva thing, but a "I'd been feeling disconnected from people thing before this happened, and had just determined to work on that" thing.

Baruch Dayan Emet.

I haven't got many words about this. It's just.... yeah.
Thank you for calling me and telling me.
Much like what chanaleh said, tell me if you're sitting shiva. I'll be there.

[drwex]

Oh my god. I'm so sorry to hear of this. May her memory always be a blessing.

Whether or not you sit shiva, if you find you want company or perhaps a bit of food do you don't have to worry about cooking when you get back I'd be happy to do either.

[macthud]

Terribly, terribly sorry to hear this.
