My mother died of lung cancer on Saturday, we cremated her on Wednesday. Hanging in there. Will post about it soon.

Ouch. I'd say some really overused cliché, but I don't say stuff like that. I'll just say this. Look on the bright side. You get to live another day to it's fullest.
-
Thanks DS. I appreciate the words of encouragement.
-
I try my best
-
<3 My best wishes are with you.
-
Thank you. Sincerely.
-
I'm very sorry for your loss. If you feel like you need to vent about it or anything you can do it here or message me about it, i'll gladly take the time to read/listen if it'll help lighten things up for you.
-
Thanks MR. I appreciate the support. The support of my family and community has been amazing and the community here has been a great place to escape into. Cheers!
-
Cheers indeed! I'm glad you've got so much support behind you. And this community is usually pretty supportive when something like that happens. I lost my son last September and most here were very kind to me during the ordeal. I feel like people underestimate the compassion that can be found around here when they see all of the rampant trolling and such.

Wow, I'm really sorry to hear that. My utmost condolences. It has to be unimaginably difficult to go through that. It would have broken my mother if any of us had gone before her, so in my own dark humor way I've been saying, "Better her than me." She would've laughed and agreed. Again, sorry for your loss. And that you're feeling under the weather.

It is very unfortunate when the parent outlives the child, usually because the young aren't expected to die young. It was a difficult thing to face, and I appreciate your condolences. I still at heart wish he survived, as any parent would, but there's no sense dwelling on an impossibility,. That in mind, I just decided to take what I could from the experience and bring it along for the future, and be thankful for the time my girlfriend and I were gifted to have him. Death is the only certainty in life, and it'll happen to everyone eventually. All we can do is be grateful for the lives we have and make the best of it how we can.
-
Eloquently put. I will try to be as graceful and honor my mother's wonderful, strange life the best I can.
-
That's all you can do, really. And it surely is enough. I'm sure you mother was a wonderful woman.
