Helping a loved one through grief

[sillypumpkins]

Kristina and flo,

Thank you both for your lovely replies.

My partner ended up getting a flight home that was supposed to be for today (2/29.) Shortly after, she got a call from her brother saying that it was looking like mom might depart that night (2/28.) My mother ended up getting her a last-minute flight (bless her) for last night, in hopes she'd make it in time. Unfortunately, mom passed while my girlfriend was in the air.

Kristina, I know she was on a lot of drugs when she went. I don't think she was feeling much pain. I know she was quite scared to leave her daughter behind. I hope she wasn't too afraid when she went. Perhaps the drugs helped to relax her. It makes me a little sad that she was taken so quickly like that. I know I'll see her again though. Goodbyes are hard when you're human.

I do find peace in knowing that they will be reunited again. Their bond is strong. I can see a lot of them in each other

Flo, I actually started reading Journey of Souls several days ago. It's been helpful during this time. I'm going to pass it on to my partner once I feel it's the right time.

All is well. I will be flying out for the funeral next week.

Thanks again
