Rosie_0801 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Oh Rosie, you are right it really can't get any shittier. I too classify you as a friend and neighbour, I wish I could drop off a meal, give a quick big hug and bugga off and leave you alone. I hope the shock stays with you for a while and holds reality at bay a bit. We here are in shock for you too. My 'spare' also bounced back well, though with amazing resiliance and strength. She keeps me going as I know yours will. Not in shock. Haven't been in shock. Shock wasn't really an option. Reality was right there in front of me. Newspapers lie. :sneaky2: I'm moving house. Everyone hates moving house, so I'm finding it nice and distracting. How neighbourly is "Southern Australia?" That could be anywhere! :lol: But really, I'm mostly avoiding people.

Rosie_0801 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 -- Edna St. Vincent Millay Actually, resignation is the whole point of the grieving process. I'd rather his father did not have to read that quote, so I'd be obliged if you'd delete it. If any of you non quilting people would like to do something, I'd appreciate it if you'd trawl though old posts and find anything I might have shared so I can file them away for dd. It seems like the sort of thing that might help if she needs to go through another grieving period when she's older. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I can only hope that some of the tears we have shed will mean a few less for you to cry. It sucks...and is awful, and is completely unfair. Sending you love and peace from across the globe. Also, I know you said there are no financial issues, but if there is a charity you would like us to donate to in his name I'm sure many of us would be happy to. Or a scholarship fund, or something.

QuirkyKapers Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Rosie, I have been thinking and praying for you since I heard this devastating news. I just keep thinking wth.. How can this be? How would I feel if this happened to me? How could I go on? The loss of your son and how he filled your life with joy, how he challenged you day to day...I just don't know how I could handle the loss. :grouphug: :grouphug: As you remember who your son was and how he impacted your family, many hugs and prayers. Hold on to your memories of your son. How he brought you joy, how he challenged you, how he made you a better person just because of who he was. How he loved you. Hold onto all of those things. But most of all remember how you as his mom, impacted his life. That you poured love into him and allowed him to be who he was. :grouphug: :grouphug: I'm so sorry. Love to you sister!

Knowing that this community is "your place" and that everyone here are all "your people", I am imagining you sitting there before the screen, quietly reading and hopefully feeling the soul of this community wrap its arms around you to comfort you.

Pod's mum Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 How neighbourly is "Southern Australia?" That could be anywhere! :lol: But really, I'm mostly avoiding people. Deliberately vague. I would hate my address to be made as public as yours has been. We are hours apart but the same Southern bit of the same continent and have also been tucked away enjoying the Aussie wildlife. How is that not a neighbour? ;) Mostly avoiding people works well. If it weren't for dd I would have been very recluse the last 3 years. Having said that when you are ready for a road trip South-West from where you are now, we'd love to see you both. I'll PM with a proper invitation after your mailbox has had a well deserved rest.
