Sharni and Bilbo - my deepest sympathy. It's never easy to lose a loved one. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this trying time.

I have been checking in this thread for a couple of days, & backing out because I have nothing to say...I still have nothing to say that will help, but my deepest sympathy is being sent out to Oz, if it will reach that far.

It will. ;)

Shitbuggerbum.

Sharni, so sorry for your loss. Sending hugs your way. I am certain that your mum knew that you loved her and also certain she loved you and your crew with all she had. Wish you could have been there in those final moments, but I feel certain that even though you may not have been there, she felt your love with her all the same. Be well and happy as soon as you can, celebrate her life and yours in a way that has meaning to you! Sending more hugs .... wish there was more to be done that would help!!!

What he said...

*sniff*

Well i'm back, I've tried off and on to post to this since i read it, but tears just kept welling up, so i'm not going to read, just reply as best as i can.

Bilbo hun, do NOT blame yourself for anything, I got to say my goodbyes in another way, that i am forever thankful that you supported me through!! I love you hun!

Thanx to everyone for your hugs, wishes and such, it really was and is appreciated, i'll read through this thread again in time, but at present it just wells up raw emotion that i find a bit hard to cope with at this time.

Welcome home. :molest:

Cope with what you can when you can.
Deal with what you must when you must.
Living thru it is the goal, take all the time you need.
And take all the love & sympathy from our hearts to yours, that's what it's there for.

Trust me, it gets better.

:console:

I have also been in & out of this thread more times then I can remember. Leaving without posting for lack of words.... still not sure what to say except my thoughts and prayers are with you, ((((Sharni and Bilbo)))) and with your family.

Keep your memories close and know Mom lives on with each retelling of those times. Tell them to your kids, share everything wonderful about her. She is in your children too, look for her in the sparkle in their eyes, in their laughter..... *hugs*

((((Sharni))))) - years later, I still miss my dad - but the memories become bittersweet. Take the time you need to mourn, and we'll be here for you if you need us.

If time was all that it took for words like that, it was worth a wait for all of us. You gave us a collective thought we will all take away and remember. Thank you Teddy. :)

(((((((((( BILBO and SHARNI ))))))))))

Teddy Bear gave good advice. We love to talk about our folks and express to others how much they meant to us.

God willing, maybe one day we'll all be together again in a far, far better place.

In the meantime, know you always have the love of your Pixie family.

My Deepest condolences Sharni and Bilbo

I can relate, my father passed away 3 and a half years ago, just before X-mas
I miss him dearly, but I have felt him here with me on more than one occasion since then

Take care
