We interrupt this blog silence for .. more of the same. Although I have no excuse for lack of blogging the last half of October, my mother-in-laws unexpected hospital visit and subsequent death has had us wishing November would just end already. It’s been a very trying month and we are ready for it to be over. However, she’s not having her burial or memorial service until December 12th, so maybe we’ll be wanting to skip December as well.
I hope that my desire to blog and read blogs will return again soon, but for now, I’m just trying to help myself and my husband get over the grief. He says he feels a little bit like an orphan since now both of his parents are gone, but thankfully we’ve got a great support network of people here.
Any knitting I’ve worked on or completed is on my Ravelry projects page, and although I’ve got a huge stack of FO’s that just need to be blocked, even my desire to knit much has slipped a bit lately. Hopefully all mojo will return soon and this quiet blog will see some action again.
I’m sorry about your mother-in-law. I kind of know how your husband feels as both my mom and dad are gone. It’s a strange thing but I’ve found it to be freeing in some ways. I wish you guys peace as you go through your grief together.
I am so sorry, Kristie. My thoughts and prayers are with both you and your husband. I can’t begin to imagine the grief you both must feel. Your knitting mojo will come back soon – but in the mean time, I wish you peace.
Oh, Kristie, I am so sorry. 😦
Hugs to you and hubby.

Oh, I’m so sorry.
Hugs to both of you.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ll be thinking of you and your husband in the days to come.
Oh no – I’m so sorry to hear of you family’s loss. If there’s anything I can do. You’ll be in my thoughts!
I was really saddened to hear of your Mother-in-Law’s declining health and her passing. These are never great events to deal with at any time, but I can only imagine the additional drain it brings on before the holidays. I really hope you and your husband can find some amount of peace in knowing there are those of us out here holding you close in our thoughts, hoping that you’ll find some solace in the next weeks to come.
Oh Hunny, so so so so sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your family’s loss. Wishing you all the best.
Oh Sweetie, my heart breaks for you and your hubby. What a terrible thing – and although I’m sure no time is ever easy, I imagine it’s even harder to be going through this during the holiday season. Take care of yourselves, and let me know if there is anything I can do to make either of you feel better. You’ll be in my thoughts.
Give you husband a big hug for me…..and give yourself a big hug for you!
We too just went through the unexpected death of my husband’s Grandfather. He went in to the hospital for a blockage in his intestine & within 10 days died of unexpected complications, he was laid to rest Nov. 10.
So hard to go through at this time of year. I will be praying for you all.
Kristie,
Please know that you and Bob are in our thoughts and prayers, and if there is anything we can do at all please let us know. I’m always here if either of you need anything at all.
Kristie,
You and your family are in my thoughts. Hugs.
Kristie,
You’ll be back. Take the time you need to grieve. So sorry for your loss and sadness. Praying for you! Theholidays are intrinsically more complex with grief, go easy on yourself.
Hugs to you and Bobby.
Oh, Kristie. I’m so very sorry for your loss. My sympathies.
Kristie, you take as much time as you need; your blog friends will be here when you’re ready.
Sending hugs to you and your hubby.
So sorry for your loss. *hugs*
