My former mother-in-law died yesterday.  My ex-husband and I are still really good friends and his mom was very close to my family, spending every holiday with us until he and I split up.  He wanted to tell my mom and sister himself, and I still don't know if he has been able to reach them.  I really want to call my mom, but I know he felt it was important to tell them himself and I don't want to be insensitive when he is clearly going through a rough time.  She was a really great lady and will be deeply missed.   :\\\'(

I am so sorry, Persephone. That is hard enough to take, but when you live at a distance ... (believe me, I know)
And sympathy to you too, Sarah.

Persephone, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad; my dad also had esophageal cancer; it really sucks to be so far away when something like that is going on :(

Sarah, sorry for your loss :(

Don't have all the information yet (everything in this extended family comes in drips and drabs), but DH's grandfather has taken a turn for the worst. DH is going over tomorrow for I don't know how long. I have to stay with the animals from two households, but I wish I could go as well...

On top of that, my great aunt died on Saturday. The funeral is today. I spoke to my grandmother (her sister) who is doing well, but they were very close. It's a hard time for both sides of my family right now.

I'm sorry to everyone else who is dealing with loss at the moment as well. *hugs all around*
Finally living with my Husband in London after 6 1/2 years together but apart... and loving my life!
