This really sucks, dropzone. Take care.
Aw, man. What a thing. So very sorry.
Very sorry to hear this; best wishes to your family.
My sincerest condolences, dropzone.

I thank you, my dear invisible friends (her term), but I went through grief the other day, and that wasn’t her way. So, to Irish/Welsh up the wake…
New pastor just started Sunday, so he was depending on the hagiographies of the other church ladies. Not her entirely, but what she wanted them to think because it’s respectable. She could rarely hold respectable in, so we then told him of:
-
One of the kids had an pink alien toy that if you dropped in water it would expand enormously. This, a Skippy jar, a medical-looking “human fetus” label, and a minor child to place it among the crosses at a church’s abortion memorial, gave her a one-way ticket to prankster hell.
-
The other day, Oldest was trying to feed her with a home-(not my home–she trained much of the dumb out of me)-made spoon with a pink foam sleeve to make it easier for folks who’d lost fine motor function to use. Worse yet, it had been signed “Wiley,” close enough to “Willy” for a gag. “Looks like a dildo.”
And so on. It is fortunate that the FNG is young, still hip, and not a PITA.
Anyway, to anybody who thinks I’m flippant, no, this is me, my immediate family, and the one I married into.
Don’t forget to take care of yourself, Drop.
My sincerest sympathies.
And would that all of us were blessed with such.
My deepest sympathy in this time, and do care for yourselves; I know the memories will be held fast.
My deepest condolences, drop.
My condolences to you and yours!
Oh, and fuck your goddamn tablet, too.
Actually, I’m using the better tablet. First world problem.
I am very sorry. And you can handle your grief however you want. That was one thing that has always been emphasized when I went to grief counselling. There’s no right way.
The only other thing I’ll say is to take care of yourself, and honor her the way you deem best.
When my brother sells Mom’s house, I would like to make a donation on behalf of Wife. She loved her kindergartners, and they remember her. Significantly less shitty than my remembrance.
I’m sorry, dropzone.
So sorry to hear this.
So sorry to hear dropzone. May she rest in peace and may you find peace yourself.
My deepest and most heartfelt condolences.
That is so sad to hear.
My condolences to you dropzone and your loved ones.
peace, my unmet friend…
supplications sent your way…

That really sucks. I’m sorry.
