I'm new here but since you asked and this is the first thing I see in my feed, I'll tell you. My mom died the day before yesterday. So, not starting the week off as I'd like to. I didn't like the way I was informed about. A very impersonal and uppity email from my older sister I am not on speaking terms with. So, I'll just plod along and find a bright side somewhere! To all of you who are having it rough this week: I'm hoping things get better for you.
good lord my friend. sorry to hear that! losing a parent is never easy, regardless of what kind of relationship you had with them beforehand. Hoping things get better for you, too ❤
Thank you. I lost her quite a while ago because my older sister cut off my ability to communicate with my mother quite a while ago. I live on another continent so I couldn't really do much about that to fight it. In a lot of ways, I mourned the loss of my mother a long time ago, so her actual physical death is something that I already mourned. Still, it really sucks, but my mom was unwell for quite a while, and she is no longer unwell. That's a good thing. Thanks for being so nice with your comment. I'll be just fine. Situations like this in my personal life remind me about all the things I need to do to protect people from these kinds of unpleasant situations that are unfair.
It says a lot about your character that your reaction to your own hardship is that you want to work to make sure other people are protected from it. We're lucky to have you in the world and on this instance. Thanks for being you.
Thank you, that's so kind of you to say so. You seem like a very friendly and caring person.
