  2. Oh, Judy! You didn’t tell us (or if you did, I missed it here). I know from your posts here how close the two of you were.
    I’ll leave it to Nanda to write a saintly and inspiring meditation on mortal loss; she’s much better at that than I am.
    I’ll just say it hurts and hurts and per my own experience, there IS no “balm in Gilead” for the pain. WHO set things up this way, that a person spends decades becoming loving and wise and then—poof! she’s gone? That we can love and love and still, always, lose?
    Anyway I will pray for your peace and comfort. So sorry.

    1. Thank you so much, Hypatia. I should have told you guys earlier, but, I don’t know. I just didn’t want to talk about it. Or something. I don’t know. I am sorry.

  3. Oh no, Judy, I didn’t mean that! I hate when something devastating happens, and everybody who finds out gasps, “Why didn’t you TELL me?!?” People don’t get it that it’s no fun recounting such news, every time you have to tell it, the wound reopens. No, I was just afraid I might’ve missed an earlier post about it, and, especially since you’ve always been so kind and sympathetic toward me, I wanted to extend sympathy to you. One thing I know about your mom: she was blessed with a loving and wonderful daughter. God bless you and keep you.
