In reply to Gallier the Elder. "When a parent leaves us, the world changes completely" Yes, I understand that now. That's how it felt the night mom died. As if the world had changed.

Dear Penny,
from the bottom of my heart, I send you my sincere condolences. When a parent leaves us, the world changes completely. I have been there too. But one thing is certain, in our heart and in our thoughts they are always with us

Do not stand at my grave and forever weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and forever cry.
I am not there. I did not die.

Thanks so much for all the really thoughtful comments.
Geez, I can’t get through this without crying… it’s been hard and still is. And expect it will be for a while.
My mom would have wanted me to get on with the business of living. She really would of.
Which addresses Mishko’s comment “Some of us in your public do suspect there might be some measure of your parents showing in your writings” A resounding yes on that!
So, I’m going to work at getting on with life.

I appreciate every blessing, every word of support and all the prayers that have been offered.
Each of them helped to soften the blow and ease the pain. Or gave me a smile when I needed to.
Thank You all for being so generous and kind
🙂

Dearest, I have been taking a couple of days break from the insanity of the internet and just now seeing this. I am very sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. As others have said, take your time, come back if/when you feel like it. Praying for you and God bless you and keep you during this difficult time.

Dear Penny,
So sorry for your loss of one the the most important persons in your life. The pain must be unbearable right now for you and the memories are great but make it that much harder. It’s pain and heart ache we can never wish on even our worst enemies. I wish you well and strength to overcome your pain and sorrow.
Sincerely Rachel

No matter how strong we think ourselves to be, we are never really prepared for the death of a parent.
Take a break from this battle Penny. You will surely pick up your pen when the time is right. Thank you for your efforts.
