I just wanted you all to know my Mom passed away last night. You've all been so understanding and supportive, and I thank you. Yes, I'm trying to take things easy and I do have a wonderful and supporting partner and friends who are helping. While it was sudden, I take comfort that she's no longer in pain. I have a lot to do and think about in the next few days, but I'm not alone and my doc is aware too. I just may not be that communicative. Gentle hugs to everyone. Meg ---

Dear Meg I am so sorry that you are now dealing with the sudden passing of your mother. You have been so supportive to members here. Yes, we are here for you. Now is the time when as you said you will be very busy with making many plans in a short space of time. I understand that plans need to me made now, but when my father and later my mother passed away I felt that I needed some time to adjust to the death before I had to start making all these plans. We care about you. We are here for you. I am so glad t hear that you have good support. Please do take care of yourself in the days ahead. If other people in your supportive circle are willing to help, let them while you rest. Gentle hugs Rachel ---
