OT: Checking In
 

Hi, all...

Still in a cast. We buried our mother today. I'm experiencing a strange combination of relief and desolation. Just wanted to thank those who either responded to my thread when Mom passed two weeks ago and to those who PM'ed me directly.

I should be back on active duty here in about 2-2 1/2 weeks. Hope everyone is well.

Thinking of you and your family, Zoso. It's a difficult process and you will probably experience many different feelings. I hope in time, the primary feeling is of gratitude for the wonderful memories you had with your mom.

Relief maybe because she is in a beautiful place :)

tough day no matter how you look at it. thank you for letting us share this painful journey with you. look forward to having you BACK at 100%. take care.

Well, she's finally with my father again after 36 years. And she's with all her brothers and sisters.

I put my Eta Kappa Nu (electrical engineering honor society) cord in her casket before they closed it up. She didn't see me finish grad school two years ago when I wore my cord. But she has it now...forever.

I'm sorry Zoso.

Prayers for peace! Losing your parent (no matter what their age) is difficult and painful. I am glad you were able to be there and share the celebration of her life.
Looking forward to "seeing" you again soon Zoso!
TT

Tough day for you, Zoso.

That's a beautiful and moving gesture.

Thinking of you Zoso and praying for peace and comfort.

I am so sorry for your loss. Glad that you had such a good relationship with your mother and cherished her so much. That must have meant the world to her.

Take care, my thoughts and prayers are with you,

I am so very sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
