~Everybody should believe in something. I believe I'll have another coffee.~

$\"Gravatar\"$ I never know quite the right words to say under \"traditional\" loss circumstances, so this one is even tougher.

I have an inkling that you need your friends and family to just stand by you and even in silence, support you, and so that's the way I'm going with it. My hope for you is that you find some peace. xoxo Many heartfelt hugs to you.

$\"Gravatar\"$ Stunningly written-- these emotions like lightbulb-thin glass shards wrapped in the most protective packaging--and deeply felt.

You already know my heart is with you in all ways.

$\"Gravatar\"$ Melisa: Thank you. If only I had that family support you speak of. But friends more than make up for it!

Jules: I do know and, as you already know, I thank you from the deepest recesses of my heart.

$\"Gravatar\"$ It's always difficult when it comes to \"loss\" and I don't know anything about the circumstances but what you wrote was so beautiful it almost reduced me to tears.

It really touched me. Being in work I can't elaborate but I'd like to send you a hug across the pond.

$\"Gravatar\"$ I'll be keeping you in my thoughts today - when we lose people with whom we have relationships that are not \"easy\", the pain we feel at their loss is still just as deep.

Your post is beautiful - I'm so glad you found that love at the end of it all.

$\"Gravatar\"$ again you wrote so beautifully I had tears in my eyes. Grief and loss - sigh how to deal- you're doing well and no one handles it the same- you are in our thoughts and prayers. Glad to see you back I was missin you! ((HUGS))

$\"Gravatar\"$ This gave me goosebumps. It was so eloquently written, I could feel your pain. I'm sorry for your loss.

$\"Gravatar\"$ Wow - just WOW!

Your words brought tears to my eyes. STUNNINGLY (is that even a word?) written!

I'm glad that you've made sense out of the conflicting emotions though girl - recognizing and understanding them is half of the battle.

Hang in there. I'm here if you need me.

$\"Gravatar\"$ My Thoughts are with you as you travel down this rough patch in the road.
I haven't spoken to my mother in almost 5 years now... and have often wondered how i will feel... or if i will feel... when the time is hers. But even through every thing... they still are our mothers...

$\"Gravatar\"$ Kat: Thank you Kat and your hug is much appreciated.

Astrogirl426: I am glad I found it as well. I am able to grieve fully without letting the past control the person I am today.

M.o.M.: Thank you. I missed you as well. Still a bit busy but hope to be around here regularly soon.

April: Thank you. I let my heart guide me on this one.

Dawn: Stunningly is in fact a word! And I thank you for describing this post as such.
Now if we could just manage to be on IM at the same time.... $\"\"$

Andie: Thank you much.

Keri: Yes, even through everything. I used to scoff when people said that. But now I know it to be true.

$\"Gravatar\"$ Taj,

This is a beautifully written tribute. I am so sorry for your loss, for your grief, for your sadness.
Anastasia Beaverhausen | 09.29.08 - 7:52 pm | #

$\"Gravatar\"$ Thank you for this. It is beautifully written from you heart.

My thoughts are with you!
Kristin | Homepage | 10.26.08 - 9:56 pm | #

$\"Gravatar\"$ I am happy for you and sad for you. I think you can understand why here in a second.

I have not forgiven my mother. Therefore I do not grieve for her or miss her at all. Her death is and was an emotionally painless event.

Being a man, I like it that way.

If you have forgiven her, now you can miss her. Now it can hurt.
