I'm so very sorry to hear about that, Dark.
I just find it incredible that you can stay on a cheerful community like this. If my mother passed away... I think I would be on a very long leave of absense. Kudos to you!
MM, well that's the thing. My mum passed away just yesterday, so I wasn't on at all yesterday. Now that she...is gone I can stay on. Even though I am upset I still have to try and stay cheerful, greeving over death won't bring her back. I just have to remember she is in a better place, either with the so called 'God' or in a new life.
