In Mourning

in mourning

This week will be slow for me across the blogs because we are currently in mourning here in my home. My uncle died last night and my grandpa died this morning. My grandpa had been sick the last couple of days and things were heading downhill for him fast. However my uncle was a shock. He visited my grandpa in the hospital and then went home last night and died. It was unexpected and we are still coming to terms. 

We will be  attending two funerals in a short amount of time and since they are both going to be at Ft. Benning I will be having company so things are just going to be crazy. It is funny (ironic not ha ha) that all of this happened right now.  I was thinking about taking a day or two to reorganize myself and come back better equipped. I have been considering and will be implementing posting one certain blogs, certain days of the week. Just to keep the work flow manageable along with some other things. So I will be taking the time to plan (roughly) how that will be working as well.

There will be posts this week at different time because there was some already scheduled to go live so please checking in. However all giveaways will be closed out on Monday January 27, 2014 and in the event you email me it may take me a day or so to respond. I will be checking in from time to time. So please bear with me as I get through this week.

I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

  1. I’m sorry for your loss, Rita. Just take care of yourself through all this. Rest, if you can.

  4. Rita, I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one, which is never easy. I lost my last grandparent in 2012. I pray that God will be with you and give you comfort though this tough time.

  6. So , SO sorry Rita. That is a lot to take in at once. Peace and love to you and your family. Take time to mourn and remember.

  7. I have been sitting here trying to think of something to say to you about your losses. I finally realized that there is only one thing to say. I am here if you need me. Sending internet {{{hugs}}} to you.

  9. Oh, I am so sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for you and your family. I will keep you and your family in thought and prayer. May God comfort you and your family during your time of loss and guide you through the grieving.

  10. I am so sorry and have realized how fragile life is with the two deaths of acquaintances last month (not family). They were both sudden and I think that takes a bit longer to process, and getting over the shock (one being tragic suicide- still doesn’t make sense to me). I know time will heal and I hope your time in mourning is healing as well.

  11. Wow! they say when it rains it pours…i hope there’s a rainbow when the storm is over. So sorry for your loss!

  12. I am so sorry for your losses. Was this the uncle who was such a wonderful cook? If so, I have tried his method for pan gravy with good results! Godspeed.

  13. Just wanted to let you know you and your family are in my prayers. I’m so sorry, a lot to deal with at once. I pray you will all find strength, comfort, and support you need. God bless

  19. Oh my goodness, Rita, I cannot begin to fathom what you’re going through! Please know that nobody in “blog world” is making you blog–take the time you need to be with your family. I”ll be praying for you and your family as you are dealing with this. 🙁

  20. Wow, I cannot imagine losing one person so close to me never mind two..you are in my thoughts and prayers

  24. Rita, my heart goes out to you and your family and I’m praying that you will be in the Lord’s loving arms as you go through this valley.

  26. My xondolences to you and your family… I know times like these are trying and sad. Take all the time you need. Pull yourself together and be strng but take your time.

  28. So sorry about your losses…I think it may be a bit easier when there is time to prepare but a sudden passing can be a real shock to the system. Hope you find comfort in this quote: “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. “
