24 December 2007

Please tell me life is OK. Please send me hugs. I used to LOVE Christmas. [More:] Last Christmas was our first without my youngest son. Now this.

My sister in law is dead. She woke this morning with a headache and went back to bed. My brother in law went out with the kids to let her have some peace for a bit. They got home in the afternoon and she was dead.

So tomorrow I am going to have Christmas with four children who no longer have a mommy. I really feel like shit but I need to hold up for Rosemary and those kids.
Oh lord. ***hug***
I'm so very, very sorry. I don't even have words for this, just know I'm thinking of you and your family right now.

Life isn't always OK but it does go on. Two years ago, we recieved news of my uncle's death in the middle of Xmas dinner, so I know how this can put a pall over what should be a happy season, but the young ones need the grownups to be strong and you can do it.

They are lucky to have you.

Please take it as freely as it is given, as you deserve so much more.

I've got a hug for you, and I don't even like hugging people I don't know! So let's call this a bracing.

Sorry to hear you and your family have gone through so much. You've my sympathies, and I wish there were more I could offer.

Oh, god, arsey. I'm so, so sorry. I'm hugging you so hard.

I can't even imagine how one can do this, but you are one of the kindest, warmest, most loving people I know, and if they were my kids, I'd be so very grateful they have an uncle like you to help them get through these days. I send you love and strength.

Holy crap. I'm so sorry for your loss. Hugs and good vibes heading your way.

Oh, man. Do they have a clue what it was? Undiagnosed tumor?

It was said of the Black Death that a man might have lunch with his friends, and dinner with his ancestors -- one reason it remains terrifying centuries later. We generally don't expect this sort of thing nowadays.

Damn. Arse, you can get through this and remember that to those kids you are the brightest light they have right now. Rise up and be there for them and give them someone to hold onto.

My thoughts are with you, man.

I am so sorry. It's the cruel side of the holiday season. I have had some losses over the holidays. It colors, er discolors all holiday seasons to come.

Oh, arse_hat, how dreadful for you all --- but how good that those kids have you putting them first. They need it, no doubt.

Take care, and please know that I'm sending my best thoughts to you and yours.
