Memorial Service (lack thereof)

[astarte59]

After an very stressful Tuesday, my father (Atara's ex-husband) and I decided it would be best for both my brother and the rest of the immediate family to not hold an official service. It pains me knowing that all of my mom's friends who would have been able to make it to a memorial service won't be able to say goodbye in the traditional way. But

Sarah, I just now listened to the phone message on the home machine from Monday... I'll call on Wednesday. I'd also be interested in attending any informal memorial that comes along, and ditto for the helping sort and pack things. I've done that for other people, and I'd certainly od that for you.

Do what you need to do for your family and know you and your dad have my full support. Friends can always organize a memorial event to celebrate your mom's life and share memories later

I am reading this only now due to vacation.
Lots and lots of love and strenght in this difficult time.
Your loved ones are always in your heart, but that does not
take away the missing, the pain and the loneliness.
It is always hard to see the world still turning.
And there is nothing that any one can say to take the grieve
away.
Just do what is best for you, and realize you have an extra special
gardian angel now.
*hugs and kisses and lots of light!

I will make a contribution to the dutch MS society.
I will look into this this weekend.
I did not know her well as we had just met, but still.....
She is in my mind.

I will also gladly make a contribution. This is a wonderful way to remember her.
