I don't know what to say, I am very shocked.
I was waiting to receive the address of the Hospital
to send a card with my best wishes.
My thoughts are with you and both your families.
Kind regards from Kristina. :grouphug;

Thank you Aleta to let us know.

Like Billybags said {Inara, No one knows how you feel, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Please look for it, and   :grouphug;  get well soon.}



I think she is now safely in the LIGHT at the end of the dark tunnel.

God bless her family....   she is now safe and cannot be hurt, worried or sad anymore.

My deepest sympathies...

May Michelle rest in peace...

An Irish Blessing

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sunshine warm upon your face.
May the rains fall upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

God bless you Michelle.....:grouphug;

To Leslie and family....

I'll be thinking of and praying for you all at this dreadful time...

May God bless and protect you....

God bless... :grouphug;

I think we can all understand to some extent what Michelle must have gone through, though we can never really understand another's difficulties.

Hey, ya'll.  I'm Inara's daughter (Meghan).  I'm almost 18.  Leslie is here, too. 

They buried my sweet little Mama this morning.  It is a cold, rainy day here.  TONS of tears.....I can't believe how many people showed up. 

PLEASE, please don't delete her account.  I hope to read all she wrote.   

I miss my mom.  I've never had to say that in my life.  now I do....and I hate it.  i miss her with all my heart.   

But thank you all....We all appreciate it.  Not quite sure what to do next.

Dear Meghan and Leslie - I'm really sorry to hear of your loss.  I know this terribly hard for all of you.  I just know in my heart that Angels led her in. 

"Calling All Angels" Lyrics for both of you.

A man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries
      and high above the church bells start to ring.
      And as the heaviness settles in,
      somewhere you can hear a mother sing.
      Then it’s one foot, then the other    
      as you step out onto the road.
      How much weight? How much weight?
      Then it’s how long? And how far?
      And how many times before it’s too late?

                      Calling all angels
         Calling all angels
         Walk me through this one,
         don’t leave me alone.
         Calling all angels
         Calling all angels,
         We’re crying and we’re hurting
         and we’re not sure why.

      Every day you gaze upon the sunset
      with such love and intensity, it’s almost...
      It’s almost as if you could only crack the code,
      then you’d finally understand what this all means.
      But if you could, do you think you would trade in
      all the pain and suffering?
      Ah, but then you’d miss the beauty of the light upon this earth,
      and the sweetness of the leaving.

         Calling all angels
         Calling all angels
         Walk me through this one,
         don’t leave me alone.
         Calling all angels
         Calling all angels,               
         We’re trying,
         we’re hoping,
         we’re hurting,
         we’re loving,
         we’re crying,
         we’re calling. . .
         cuz we’re not sure how this goes.....

I'm hurting really bad here. 

PLEASE TELL ME ....How do I deal with losing my mother?  HOW!!!!!!!  Please????????

If only it wasn't so rainy and cold at her funeral this morning!!!!!!!  God, it feels like the end of the world. 

If you knew her, I wish ya'll could have....it kills my soul to use a past tense with her......but I slept with her all the time as a special treat growing up.  we'd cuddle up and watch movies when it was it chilly and now, she's in the ground.  I'm so scared she's cold. 

But we'll be okay, I hope.  My dad and grandparents have arranged for me to see a therapist tomorrow.  I think that's best.  Sorry if this post sounds a little crazy, but I need someone to lean on and be totally honest.  I know how much she loved this site...(again with having to use the past tense....god, I hate it). 

Autopsy results should be in tomorrow morning, but I know it doesn't really matter at this point.  She's gone and there's no bring my little mother back.  If anyone's interested, I'll post it. 

Meghan

Meghan, my dear , I am so heartbrakingly sorry for you.

I have to tell you sadly this awfull emptiness will take a very long time to go away. You will learn to live with it though.....

May you be calm and peacefull in knowing that she is no longer hungry,cold, worried, stressed and that she loved you dearly....

she loved you dearly....

Thank you, Des. 

She did, I know she did.  I'm just now starting to read her private journals.  And their all about ME!  She loved me so much!!!!!!  I'll carry that with me forever. 

If I may, I'd like to quote her, "Such a hard labor and deliver, but my baby is just beautiful.  I can't stop kissing her beautiful tiny face. I finally feel fulfilled"

Not looking for sympathy on this forum, btw, just some comfort.
