I'll be gone for a while.  My mother died yesterday.

She was not a pleasant person.  We were not close, a fact due solely to my absolute refusal to pretend otherwise.  I began grieving the absense of a maternal figure in my life over 20 years ago, sitting at the breakfast table on a trip home from college.  Still, it's now time for me to do the final tidying up.

I'm sorry for your loss, both then and now. My best wishes for your family.

I'm so very sorry. I lost my mom last November, and she, too, was not a pleasant person. I also grieved her for years before she actually passed. You have my condolences. I hope maybe now you can heal.

You have my sympathy. I had a similar situation with my father.

I'm 17, and although I live with both my parents (who are on the brink of divorce) my mother and I have not spoken to each other in about a year. Therefore, I can sympathise with your lack of a maternal figure.
Nevertheless, I am sorry for your loss.
Remember; livejournal is always here, waiting for you when you get back :)
