The 2 AM phone call

[etumukutenyak]

Honey's mom just died. Since she'd been going visibly downhill in the past few months, and years, it was one of those combined relief-and-grief moments. She was the oldest of her siblings; the youngest is now the only remaining. Lots of cousins to be notified, etc.

Oh, my dear! I'm so sorry to hear that.

Please accept my condolences. I feel bad Honey has to go through such a rotten time. I hope she feels better soon. I will remember Honey's mum in my paath. ♥

I'll pass along your kind words, thanks.

My condolences.

[etumukutenyak.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

My condolences. You must be going through a lot.

[etumukutenyak.livejournal.com]

Thanks. It's fairly low-key right now; Honey and her sibs had been spending time with their Mom -- as much time as possible, especially in recent weeks -- because they knew her time was getting short. (It isn't as bad as when her Dad died suddenly, about 6 years ago. That was a severe blow.) There's some grief, but she stayed up all night working on stuff, so by now things are calmer.

I expect it will ramp up once the funeral arrangements are made and the relatives from out-of-town start arriving.

My condolences, and wishes for strength for you both.

Thanks, BK. I know she'll need it today.

My sympathies, especially for the young 'un.

He's luckily away in a computer camp for the week, but I'll send your sympathies on to him as well.

I'm so sorry.

Thanks.

My sympathies to you and Honey...no matter how it happens, it's never easy. :-(

::leaves chocolates and tea in the usual place::

[etumukutenyak.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's not easy, but Honey's got four siblings to share this time, and they've all pulled together.

How did you know I was snacking on chocolates and tea? Om nom nom! (sluuuuuuuurp)

[i-calql8.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm just smart like that. ;-)

[etumukutenyak.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but...that was exactly what I had in hand at that moment. Uncanny!

(OK, I'd rather not admit to being that reliable...)
