Most of us cant be physically by your side at a time like this, but we can share a vigil and send encouragement and sympathy and support your way. And we can be here to listen when you need to unburden.
I always get a sense of comfort and reassurance when I remember what our own Skittles posted here, once upon a time, and what its meant to me during unsettling times: someones always here.

(26,259 posts)My heart goes out to you and your family. I've never know that grief but I've known plenty of others.
Just remember the advice spoken by President Biden - there will come a time when the memory of your loved one brings a smile to your lips before it brings a tear to your eye.

(34,370 posts)I've been through it myself, so I know something about what you're feeling. I unexpectedly lost my husband shortly before Christmas so I know it's especially hard around the holidays.
I'm sending a hug to you, your boys, and your pups. When I think of you writing that Mr. Big Paws keeps waiting by the gate, my heart breaks all over again for all of you.
Take care and know that we're all here for you.

(102,225 posts)I was devastated at the news and though I don't know how much sympathy helps, I do think the caring nature of a community reaching out just might. You are in my thoughts, along with your two-legged and four-legged "children."
I lit a candle for your dear beloved and hope you all find peace of mind and comfort.

(4,400 posts)I, like so many others here, have enjoyed and looked forward to your stories over the years. They exuded warmth, love, humor and gave us a small glimpse into you and your world. We loved what we saw and loved you for your wonderful generosity of sharing with us.
My heart breaks for your loss. I lost my husband this past January and so feel your pain. Youre sons lost their Mother, and thats a real tough one. Take care of each other through this time of grief and mourning.
My love and best wishes for peace and comfort to you, the boys, the pups and all who love her and feel the loss.
You will always find open hearts here

(26,618 posts)that it kind of felt like getting to know her and really like her so it was a shock for us too. You will carry on because life goes on, and the boys and the new guitar student but of course it won't be the same.
My heart goes out to you, Duncanpup.
