js, I never have the right words for this, nothing ever seems like enough to help. Maybe words can’t help. Maybe knowing that so many people here have responded like this, re-assures me that IRL, you have the same kind of support.
Lean on people a little while, it doesn’t show weakness, it shows that you’re cared for as part of many distinct communities. Ours too.
Words seem inadequate. I would help, but don’t know how. If you need someone to email or chat, I can set something up.
I’m so sorry, Julie.

Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. I simply can’t imagine what you are going through right now, and will be sending supportive thoughts your way.
I’m so sorry. Surround yourself with friends and family; they will help you through this.
My deepest condolences on your loss.
I am so very sorry. Peace and strength to you and your family.
I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine your pain right now. I hope you have a lot of loving people surrounding you right now. You know you have a lot of love here.
Oh my goodness. I am sorry for your loss jsgoddess, and you have my condolences.
I am terribly sorry for your loss. Your family is in my thoughts.
I don’t really know what to say. I am so sorry. I wish we were all closer so we could hang on to you.
My deepest and sincerest sympathies, jsgoddess.
Oh no. hugs I wish there was something I could say to ease your pain. If there is anything I can do, don’t hesitate to ask.
My most sincere condolences, jsgoddess. May you find comfort soon.
Oh, jsgoddess, I’m so sorry. I wish there was something I could do or say to make it better. I cannot imagine what you must be going through. Hang in there.
I sent this to a friend once on hearing that her mother had just died. I was unsure then if it would help, and am unsure now if it will, but as she found it comforting I hope that you will… if it is time for comfort yet.
Very sorry for your heartache, Julie. Keep yourself strong.
Heartfelt condolences, jsgoddess.
She’s in Southeast Ohio and I’m not sure if there are any Dopers in her immediate area (she’s probably a few hours from me). I am pretty sure she is at least geographically close to her family, so that helps.
