I got word that a work colleague died today.
I last saw / spoke to her when she was in the hospital in Dec. The family wants some people from work to speak at the service next week. M. |

Oh Mari, I am sorry, so sorry to hear this, it's really so hard to lose someone. My deepest sympathies to you and everyone who's hurting from this tragic loss tonight.

Hello,
Thank you. I appreciate the support. She had a long illness and this past week we knew that we could get word at any moment. I think I might have to attend a family service and then a service at work. They might be hard. I don't think I can get out of them. Maybe I can prepare myself for them somehow. And maybe I can leave early if I have to. Certainly I hope that getting dressed and showing up mostly on time will count. I don't have to sit through the whole thing each time I hope. I am looking forward to talking to her mother. I met her mother last December and she is the sweetest person I've met. M. Last edited by Mari; 05-01-2009 at 01:56 AM. |

Even though someone is ill for a long time Mari, you're never prepared when it happens. I don't know how to tell you to prepare for the service because I've only been to one since my mom passed, a friend I met in the hospital. The whole experience just brings back too many painful memories.
 Maybe you could just go and pay your condolences and leave quietly. I always like to send something living, like a plant. Or maybe cook something and take it over to the house. Whatever you decide to do, it's what's in your heart that counts
