    Lost My Self - for a bit...

    Just to update amongst the other sad goings on here...

    My Mum died last night at 7.15pm....5 minutes after I walked back in the door of home, 7 hours away, to recharge my batteries for 48 hours and try and Find My Self again after 10 days of just me and my Dad in the house I grew up in and was so, so, so unhappy in....

    It's been a long, long 10 days and today I am going back for another 10.... I am so going to try and find some sort of Internet connection but so hope that if I am able to, I find MWO in a happier 'state' than I came back to - not well chosen words at all and sorry if they offend at all, but I just feel sad about this 'energy blip'; this place so to special. Let's hope all is resolved soon?

    My Mum deteriorated steadily after her 'sort of stroke' (not a 'bleed' but a lack of oxygen from a near total heart block...pulse went down to 12...) and although nobody really knows (or says), it seems to have been ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) where her body couldn't utilize oxygen despite it being pumped in at max and everything just closed down.

    This meant she just slipped into sleep, loss of consciousness and death very peacefully - a blessing for a woman always phobic about cancer! Why it happened, who knows - she was nearly 82, nothing linked to alcohol or anything... I think 'The Big Guy' wants her for something else...

    My Dad is going to be more than bereft...she was his oxygen and blood, his food and water - literally. No one else got a look in....

    I am on my way back there today but trying to wangle a hotel to be near, but not in, that house, at least at night - the nightmares (as of childhood, were waking me up sweating - horrible)...wish me luck with explaining why the hotel without saying anything!

    I know you'll be sending good vibes and I am really (presumptiously!) grateful...I'll get here when I can but think of everyone here too....and trusting that healing and kindness ease any current MWO cuts and grazes...and that courage and strength fill anyone really struggling with the beastly fire-water....etc etc etc

    Hugs all round.

      FMS, I am so so sorry for you and sending you all my love and prayers. Try and take some comfort that you're mam passed peacefully, thats what kept me going last year when I lost Dad.

      If you need to pm, chat, talk, scream, shout, I am here for you, not just now, but later when everything and everyone has gone back to "normal".

      Take care

                      My condolances, finding. I lost my mom a few years ago. I think you are a very strong person to recognise that you need a hotel room. You don't need to explain. It's just what you feel is best for you. Thoughts and prayers for you.

                          I wish you all the strength and all my love.

                              FMS -

                              Mu condolences on your Mom and do hope later, you will find this upcoming coming time soothing in its own way.

                              As for the hotel, you need your private grieving and adjustment time too.
                              Please know we are all here for you and do care....

                              My best, Erin
