Blanche,
Thanks for the tip. I'll try to get there. It always seems better if no one hears.

I miss the Oregon coast, Washington doesn't have those long, isolated
stretches of sand that go on for miles, with the rock formations, like Haystack Rock, at Cannon Beach, near Portland. Go there, sit by yourself, or with your husband. Nothing restores my soul like long meditation and prayer on a beach. It's the perfect place to grieve, no one will hear.

Thanks, Blanche. I think I will.
I always loved sitting on the beach at night back home in Tampa. It's peaceful.

Thank you so much, Taps.
On a lighter note, you might want to check out my most recent post tonight. It's much less somber!

Hang in there, Spitfire, try to get to the Oregon coast if you can.
There is something so redemptive and healing about the ocean, of grief and pain and tears. Be kind to yourself.

To You All...
Well, it just further proves how truly unique the Blogitville family really is. I can't tell you (well, I can) how much all your comments and emails mean to me. You guys are so caring and offered such kind words of support. I know I have been on-again off-again this past year but things have been so hectic and weird. Major life changes, ya know? I guess I just have to keep on truckin' along and deal with it all. Don't we all? But, it sure makes it so much easier knowing you guys are out there. I don't think there is any other blogging network like ours. "Outsiders" couldn't possibly understand. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I just hope I have and will continue to be there for all of you. Blessings to you all. (And smoochies, too, of course!)
Special thanks to Blackcat, Schatz, Whacky, Jacenta, Blanche, Sir Strat, Katray, Smartdawggie, Shypettite, LovelyLady, Shellyb, Offbeats, Wiley-Pops, DivineDiva, FreemanWalking, A-and-B, Sweet Symphony, TeddyPoet, Tanga, Jems211, Temple, and WordActress.

We are connected to our mothers in the womb and we seek out enduring connections like this all our lives. My mother died twenty years ago on Monday and it's still hard. To have any great love and to have it taken away always hurts. I want to say be strong because that's what people said to me but really what you need that will help you the most is to find a way to keep her in the forefront of your heart, to remember her daily and to speak to her in whatever way you can find. I wish I was Buddhist because they believe we all have many lives. Find a way for your mother's love to endure...

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I know what you must feel
like and there is really no words from anyone that would make you feel better or take the pain away. I have been throught the same loss. People can only pray for you and be there for you when you need someone. I am truly sorry. I was just thinking about you and your mother the other day and was wondering how she was doing. Try and be strong, I am sure you will, you seem like a strong person. Lots of love

Spitfire,
I'm so sorry. I know how much your mum means to you. Take peace in knowing that her suffering is over now. She is resting in a better place and you will see her again.
If you need anything, please email me, okay?
Shalom...

Oh, Young Miss, I'm so sorry.
It's a tough time, I know. I lost my Dad a while back. Been there, done that, no fun. But you do get through it, and the good times always seem to be the ones in the forefront of memory.
Take care. I'll be thinking about you, praying, whatever it is people do to send aid, comfort, sunshine, all that.
