Around the time I wrote my last post, my mother-in-law became sick. She died before the new year.
I've wanted to talk about this, but every time I try, I get stuck, not to mention extremely sad. So I'm just going to have to leave it at these few lines, if I'm ever going to move on and write anything else.
A lot of people make jokes about their in-laws, but mine was the best. I really miss her.
Very sorry for your loss. Those of us who have mother-in-laws we love are doubly blessed. May her memory remain your strength.
ReplyDeleteSO very sorry....
ReplyDeleteMy sympathies Karen. How deep your sorrow must be.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your sad news...
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling of needing to write to get through something, but then not being able to get whatever it is out; perhaps that release will come to you at some late time...
I am very sorry to hear of your loss.
ReplyDeleteAll the very best!
I'm so sorry. Losing a parent is painful in so many ways. That she was a mother by way of your marriage rather than birth and that you are so affected by her death means that you were especially fortunate to have her in your life. Take care, grief has a pace of it's own.
ReplyDeleteThanks y'all. Every time I tried writing about it, I couldn't get very far.
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting up with me!
The words will come to you when you're ready, and you'll find peace in them. My deepest sympathies.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss. I had a great mother-in-law, too, and I miss her still.
ReplyDeleteMy sympathies to you and yours, Karen.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss. Sometimes words can't express the depth of sorrow we feel.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. Give your husband a hug. And give yourself one, too.
ReplyDeletei'm sorry that you're hurting. :-(
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss. I had one of those kind of mother-in-laws, too, and miss her still. (Hugs)
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss. I know how difficult it can be to define grief in words...my mother died between Christmas and New Year's day, and I've been almost silent on that at my blog. My mother-in-law died about a month before my mother, so it was a couple tough months for me too.
ReplyDeleteMy sincere (tardy) condolances....
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I read any blogs, so I am very sorry to read this now and to hear that you are sad, Rurality. She must have been a great person.
ReplyDelete(I don't really understand why people don't like their mothers-in-law; I've always become good friends with my boyfriends'/significant others' moms. I miss one ex-mom very much and worry about her health often.)
I, too, am having hard time getting around to all my favorite blogs.
ReplyDeleteI almost didn't get this far back -- so nearly didn't get to send you a quick sympathy thought and hug.
You were blessed to have her.
I know the feeling Karen. I too had a wonderful mother-in-law for many years before the Lord felt she would be better with Him than with us. I adored her. As it happens, I am very familiar with your mother-in-law as she was my Daddy's sister. Indeed, she was truly an angel, a gift and a blessing. I know you already know this, but she adored YOU, as well. Loving my family, hope to see you soon. Lee Ann
