Sorry to hear of your loss. I have no words that can or will make a difference in this most despairing of times for you.

Peace be with you.

I’m very sorry for your loss, even though I can only sort of relate. In time, I hope things become better for you, but I know you’re going to be sad for a while. If you ever need someone to talk to, feel free to PM me.

Oh no! **{{{jsgoddess}}}** I’m so sorry for your loss–I can only imagine how devastated you must be, or will be once the shock wears off. Please take care of yourself and always know that we are here for you. As imaginary as we must all seem to be at times, nevertheless we are here and our shoulders are many and strong, suitable for crying on and our ears are many to hear your shouting at the unfairness of it all.

Blessed be.

Oh, js…I’m so very very sorry. I know it sounds trite, but honestly and really, if there’s anything I can do, I’m here. If you need to rant or babble or talk about anything related or not related, my PM and email boxes are open to you. I don’t suppose a casserole would mail well…

I am so sorry. I remember what my mom was like after my step-father died. Even though it was after a long battle with a terminal illness, it didn’t make it any easier.

My prayers are with you.
