My Mummy's Dead
At around 10:00 pm last night my mother died, a completely unexpected thing. As some of you know, she came to live with us after a stroke in 2000 and I’ve been a stay-at-home caretaker. This is such a shock. Turns out she had a coronary blockage that just finally caused a massive heart attack -- and only eight hours ago. Just Thursday morning we were having coffee together in the living room and talking about what she wanted to get the kids for Christmas. I’m in shock right now and probably won’t write for a few days.

That’s horrible. I’m very sorry.
ReplyDeleteMy deepest condolences on the passing of your mother, Steph.
ReplyDeleteI’m very sorry to hear of your loss. They say that the loss of one’s parents alters the course of his or her life forever: one is finally, and ultimately, and adult. I’m not certain if this is true or not, but none of us wish for that day or the freedoms and responsibilities that come with it. Please accept my deepest condolences and my hopes that the pain of your mourning will quickly pass into something fruitful and worthy of your love for your dear mother,
