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.

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

If you are sitting shiva at all, please advise.

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.
