Her mom passed away last night.
I will always be grateful to DU for introducing me to my very good friend, Duppers. She is a treasure.

(54,405 posts)I've been there. There are no words, there is no consolation.
I hope she (you, if Duppers is reading this) have a lot of family and/or friends that you can lean on. If she is as nice a person as I think she is, she will have someone. I hope that someone is nearby.
Duppers

(36,071 posts)Re-orienting oneself to the world is hard, but we have no choice.
Sometimes a trip, alone, is an attempt to move on. Just go. Going to new surroundings puts into us both awe and perspective about our place in the world and time. Awe and wonder help our heart and soul to help our feelings and sense of meaning.
Peace and hugs to you both.

(178 posts)I'm showing love to my husband. He is always loving others. He bought lunch for the employees at his credit union. He felt that they had done more than enough. I told him that "to be kind to customers" was their job. He'd have none of it. So we had to pay for their lunches. My husband is so kind. He's going to kill me with his kindness, but he is sooooo worth it!

(28,125 posts)to all those who recommending this thread. I am deeply touched and honored.
We had to make a long trip to my hometown. And then, in order to assure proper acknowledgements, I have had to compose several re-write to the OB. Making the funeral arrangements, choosing my mother's clothing, and especially making the many phone calls to relatives hasn't been easy. I'm sure many of you have been through this all-the-while dealing with all sorts of feelings.
I apologize for replying so late to the thread and for the future bumps I intend to make in order to thank special people here. I am very grateful for all your very kind wishes.
I love you, DU!! You folks don't know what a lifeline you've been to me!! 💕 💕 💕
