Sad tidings

by MJD-S
"I lost her. I lost my mum," MJ whispered through tears when I answered the phone this evening. We cried together for a little while before MJ turned to the challenges of arrangements, arriving relatives, and all the duties that attend a death in the family. She wanted to make sure that everyone who has supported her through the last few days--and the months during her father's illness and passing--was informed of this sad turn of events. She is sorry that she cannot call you personally. There will be a memorial service for Mum at her favorite beach in a few days' time. MJ will be back in Tokyo late next week. Please keep her in your thoughts. Kristen, on behalf of MJ

  • MJ, I am so sorry to hear your news. My deepest condolences to you and your family - what a tragic year for you all.

    In 8 days it will be the 6th anniversary of my Mum’s death, but not a day goes by when I don’t think of her at least once. If you need to talk to someone who still has the pangs, I’m here. You have my email address. Don’t know if I can offer much advice (especially as a stranger), but sometimes it just helps to be with people who know how it feels.

  • MJ,
    We never met while I was in Japan, but my heart goes out to you and your family at this time. When my boyfriend passed away, I was given the following poem. I hope it can help you some.
    love,
    A former deva

    I’M FREE

    Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
    I’m following the path God laid for me.
    I took His hand when I heard him call;
    I turned my back and left it all.

    I could not stay another day,
    To laugh, to love, to work or play.
    Tasks left undone must stay that way;
    I found that place at the close of day.

    If my parting has left a void,
    Then fill it with remembered joy.
    A friendship shared a laugh, a kiss;
    Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.

    Be not burdened with times of sorrow
    I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
    My life’s been full, I savored much;
    Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.

    Perhaps my time seems all too brief;
    Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
    Lift up your heart and share with me,
    God wanted me now, He set me free.
