My condolences, Alan, from downunder. Networks spread far & wide, & whilst not sharing your places & memories, the experience of loss is universal. We’ll have a few ‘biscuits’ in her memory. Take care.

I am not good at death. Have very little experience with it. I never know what to say. All I know is that death is just as much a part of life as life. We are never here or there. We are all everywhere at once all together.

I hope these words help:

The day I heard of your mom, I heard this song for the first time and now the two events are somehow related:

it’s safe out there and now you’re everywhere,
just like the sky.
and you are love,
you are the love supreme,
you are the rye.
and when you hear this,
you know its your jam,
it’s your goodbye.

Might not be the right things to day, but they are all I got. Smile Alan, your mom would want it that way.
