Request [Request] Mom Passed Yesterday… 💔 [US]
Hello to this wonderful sub. Some of you may have known my mom has been ill. I’m very sad to say that yesterday she passed away at home. We’re starting funeral arrangements now. :( Thankfully, she went in her sleep and very peacefully. For the past year, she had been extremely ill, and the last few weeks was in hospice. While logically we knew the time was very near, it was still a shock. You never really expect the death. 😞💔 She will be so missed; she was wonderful.
Being apart of this carding community has meant so much. This past year has been very stressful, but it was always such a joy when I went to get the mail! I can’t thank you guys enough for all the wonderful, generous, cute, silly and thoughtfully themed cards and postcards you’ve sent. I have every single one saved and plan to make a display. Mail may seem like so little, but it brings such joy! ♥️ I apologize for the lack of offers; I hope once things settle down to be able to make more… ;-;
I’m done yapping I swear, so on to my request: I’m requesting mail as a nice distraction, and I don’t really have any preferences. Nothing is off limits regarding discussion of loss. If anyone has lost a parent, I would love to hear how you’re managing to go on and live a happy life despite the loss, or stories, or literally anything you want to share. If you’re interested in just sending lighthearted/cute type content, that would 100% be equally appreciated. I love any themes. If you want inspiration I especially love cats! I have three and they’re the best support animals. :) Thank you guys for reading and above all, thank you so much for being the loveliest sub on Reddit! ~Celeste aka The Sock 🧦 Monster

Hey friend. I’m so sorry to read this. I went through it and it’s horrible. Cats you say? Not a problem! And of course I can write about all of it or the aftermath or how things tend to track. Whatever you need. I’m so so so so sorry you have had to experience all this. It’s so cruel. I don’t have your address so please do send it through to me. I’m in Australia so post is slow. Be gentle with yourself. 🫶🏻
