rl update

[jukeboxhound_backup]

My mum passed at 5:46 AM on 30 July 2009 in the hospital.  I was with her, so she wasn't alone, at least.

...Am 'comfortably numb', as my aunt describes it, and in the midst of clearing out her home.  Needless to say I probably won't be updating for a while.

EDIT:
I...well, thank you.  You wouldn't think the support from near-anonymous people would mean anything, but it honestly does, and even though I'm feeling awkward as I type, I also feel blessed and honored and generally wooby on you guys.

There's nothing I can say or do to makes this better but I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

*Zen hugs.*
Take care of yourself...You may be numb now, but it's going to hit like a ton of bricks later. Even when it's an expected thing, it still feels like one of the pillars of the world have gone out from under everything. There are going to be times when you feel perfectly normal, and then something will remind you, and it'll come crashing down.

If you need to talk, or just rant, drop me a pm.

-hugs- You update when you feel like it. It's a hard thing to deal with even if you are "comfortably numb" sooner or later it'll get you. We understand the absence.

*hugs* Be sure to take some time for yourself, hon. Don't forget to eat - that's an easy thing to overlook at a time like this.

Don't rush it. We'll be here when you get back.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's always a shock even when you're expecting it.Do what you need to. Take what time you need to. Like somebody else said, make sure you eat properly. Being hungry won't help you deal with this, physically, mentally or emotionally.

*hugs* Take care of yourself, okay?

I wish there was something I could actually say or do for you, but as there isn't; all I will say is that our hearts are with you. Good fortune and gentle dreams to you.

I know that there's nothing I can say that will make this at all easier, but I really am so sorry that you lost her. It sounds pointless, but it's true. My heart goes out to you, along with warm feelings and good wishes, and I hope that you know that there are so many people out here that are here for you.

*gives you the tightest hugs of ever*

my most sincere condolences...i know your pain
take as much time as you need and dont worry about crying at the drop of a hat, its healthier to let it all out now than to keep it bottled up inside...
*sends you warm feelings and supporting thoughts*

I feel like I've put my foot in my mouth reviewing your story and going all jolly about it, and THEN finding your journal and reading this. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I know what it feels like to lose a parent and it's extremely hard; Numbing like you said. My deep condolences. Be well!

[merytsetesh.livejournal.com]

I can't pretend to understand what you're going through since I haven't lost a parent myself. I can only imagine how devastating that must be.

If you don't feel like writing, then don't. Take a break, and when you have the time and inspiration we'll be right here waiting patiently for updates. Keep busy with other things and take comfort in friends and family.

Although I don't know you or your mother personally, she has my thanks for helping to create a person as imaginative and talented as you.

*gives a really huge hug full of love*

Stay strong - we all love you, we're thinking of you, and if you ever need to talk, day or night, just message.

*hugs again*

I'm so sorry. *hugs*
