So, more hugs.

So very sorry, WoS. Wish I had some words to say that would help...

I doubt that anything I can say will really help right now, just that I am thinking of you lots...

Awwww damn I'm sorry to hear that WoS. I know exactly what that feels like, losing my bro a couple of years ago was utterly devestating... As you found out there is few things more heartbreaking than a mother crying on the phone. This is a tough time for all but you will come through this, and your mum will too.... I was staggered by the strength my mum displayed during such a terrible time... And it brought us much closer than we had ever been. Big Hugs across the ocean for ya during this sad time... So sorry to hear this.

xxxxx

And hugs for Snake too.... Be a rock!

Thank you all so much for the kind words and hugs. Think I'll show my mum this thread, when I'm over there, so she can see what a wonderful place this really is!

Just wanted to share something with you all.

My sister worked in a house for childen with severe learning disabilities. They had just had the garden done, in a sensory style, so the children who stayed there (respite care for parents), could get mental and physical stimulation (fibre optic tube lighting, bright mobiles - that sort of thing).

They want to raise the funds for a wheelchair swing. My mum is asking people to donate to this, instead of sending flowers for the funeral. So once they have raised enough money, they are going to have a plaque made up and dedicate it to the memory of Heather

Good use of money I say.

And if you don't want to take from the travel fund to get you over here what would folks say to a donation towards the swing instead?

Excellant idea, no objections here.

Just need to know the details for paypal

So sorry to hear that Em.

*big hugs*

I'm sure you will mourn in your own way when it seems apropriate. Everyone deals with these things differently, and as you say, your circumstances and geographic distance make it more difficult still.

Take care, and all my love to your family.
