Mrs R heard this morning that her mother died. And given that her mother lived in South Africa,
she won't be going to the funeral.

Long day around here.

6. I got her out of the house for the day, and took her to visit some friends of ours.
It helped.

13. My condolences to you and Mrs R
Maybe she can have a memorial service for her mother at some later date.

May her mother's memory be for a blessing.

20. I'm sorry for Mrs. R's and Your Loss!
I wasn't able to attend my own Mom's funeral and it's still a loss.

Might I suggest that you figure the exact time that the funeral would happen in South Africa and hold your own Solidarity Type Moment in Time. Go to a beach or the garden - just something to mark that same place in time. Perhaps it would help and give closure or memories she could look back upon. Best Wishes!

25. My condolences to Mrs R and you,
Redstone.

Man being so far away is awful. As much as I hated losing my mother, I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't been here to participate in planning and go to her funeral. Indescribably hard.

:hug:

She might consider having some small ceremony here with everyone she cares about. That can help the grief process.

Much love to you both.
