(81,450 posts)Such a tremendous loss. You'll find a tremendous sympathy here.
Save this thread. In time, you'll go back and re-read the posts. It will be comforting. It will keep comforting you and reminding you that there's just a ton of love and support here - available to you. I remember when my mom died, how I posted about it here just briefly. I was AMAZED, through that night, how many posts came. How many people weighed in. How many DUers here wanted to share and sympathize and comfort. How many people wanted to reach out to me. I will NEVER forget that. I will always be grateful. It meant so much, and it helped me get through that time. It will buoy you up as well.
Very sorry for your loss. Even in those miserable cases when you know it's coming, that really doesn't make it any easier. Perhaps what's most helpful to realize (certainly was for me) is that you need never feel as though you're mourning alone. Many of us have been through this and fully understand and appreciate where you are at this moment. Someone is always here. And it doesn't matter that you've never met. They're here and they care, and they've got mighty big shoulders available to lean on.
