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 [livejournal.com profile] ricevermicelli and [livejournal.com profile] 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.

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.

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 [livejournal.com profile] schr0dinger. I don't know. I don't know what to do. I just, I, I don't know. I'm sorry.

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.

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.

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*

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

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.

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.
