I don't want to stick my foot in my mouth so I'll just 'she's in a better place now Im that's all that matters."

So sorry Infinite Monkey. I am not the best with words, but please know that heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family. Your description of your mother was touching and beautiful. It was also very descriptive of how so many of us see you. Virtual hugs, thoughts and prayers to all of you.

Waaaaaah I'm so sorry

if only I was just a little bit closer.

richlevy · 12-29-2013, 08:21 PM

I'm very sorry for your loss. I lost my father this year and my mother two years ago. No matter how old they are, it's always too soon.

Aliantha · 12-29-2013, 09:01 PM

So sorry for your loss IM. There is nothing harder than losing your Mum. Specially if she was one of the good ones. Deepest sympathy. Xxx

I'm so sorry to hear this, Infi. Eventually the loss won't be so all-consuming. Remember, you'll always have that place in your heart where she lives.

zippyt · 12-30-2013, 03:58 PM

Sorry for your loss , i lost my Mom to the same shit in 96 ,
Ok a 1, and a 2 and a FUCK CANCER !!!!

Gravdigr · 12-30-2013, 04:04 PM

Infi, I can't tell you how sorry I am for your loss.

I think your mom, and Baby's mother died on the same day. 28th?

Gravdigr · 12-30-2013, 04:05 PM

Also: Fuck cancer.

lumberjim · 12-30-2013, 08:31 PM

I'd like to say something poignant and comforting. I just have no idea what. I have not been through what you're going through. I only hope you will find peace with it as easily as can be. It's inevitable that this will happen to me, to you, to all of us. I don't think that helps at all though, knowing we share..or will share the experience. it seems like you have to both keep the person you lose and let them go simultaneously. sorry, shaw. sigh.

infinite monkey · 12-31-2013, 07:23 AM

Thanks so much everyone. I can't tell you what your words mean to me.

You think you're prepared, but you never really are. I'll miss her the rest of my life.

Each of your posts felt like you were saying these kind things right to my face. I love you all for that.

Grav, mom died on the 29th. Did your girlfriend lose her mom on the 28th? Please extend my condolences and give her a big hug.

Today we meet to talk to the hospice chaplain and to go through some pictures. I will have my family around me, maybe even a big giant cuddly nephew dog.

Baby's mother passed about 12:30am the morning of the 29th (my best friend's/her ex-bf's birthday). She extends hers to you as well, Infi.

I have never seen a person cry as hard as that girl has.
