[…] I usually don’t post about the hatred that I receive on a daily basis. I understand it comes with the territory, but I won’t be holding back anymore. This is only one sample of what appears in my inbox. And without my comment monitors-would pollute the C&L threads. In response to a post I did earlier about Jane Hamsher’s mother passing away, here’s an email I received: (I edited the curses) […]

Jane and Pam,
You both have our deepfelt sympathy at the loss of your mother. I know what you have gone through as I walked the same road many years ago. It is never easy and she will always be with you. You will find that true in many ways in the next few years. Mine has been gone 43 years and I still miss her (and my Dad), but I know they are in a better place and hopefully someday, we will all be together again….and then they can enjoy their grandchildren!!
It sounds like you have a wonderful and loving family and that will carry you through the grieving.

Meanwhile, God Bless all of you.

Peace to you and you family, Jane.

Neil Finn wrote a beautiful song that always brings to mind my own Mom, and makes me smile to remember her.

Pretty soon you’ll be able to remember her
Lying in the garden singing
Right where she’ll always be
The door is always open
This is the place that I loved her
And these are the friends that she had
Long may the mountain ring
To the sound of her laughter
And she goes on and on

In her soft wind I will whisper
In her warm sun I will glisten
Till we see her once again
In a world without end

Dear Jane,

My heart goes out to you at this time and I know, I’ve been there done that. My father died in ‘92 and my mother died in January 2000. My mother died 4 months after my husband’s mother died suddely in China on a vaction/tour with my husband’s father. The thing I’ve learned about grief is don’t fight it, let it happen. It hurts like an S.O.B. and only time is going to ease it.

Take care,
Nora

Dear Jane,
I am so sorry for your loss. When I lost my Mom, two sweet little old ladies in hats and gloves approached me at the end of my Mom’s funeral service. They gave me their condolences and told me, “sweetie, your mother is going to become more real for you now then she was when she was living.” Although I had no idea what they were talking about at the time, it stuck with me and I think helped open me up to exploring the tenderness of my mothers love , of my grief for my mother and the tenderness of mother energy in the world. From the moment I first found FDL and read your and Christy’s posts I knew you were all on this same exploration.
Please take really good care of yourself. Much peace and many blessings to you and your family.
