Oof

[liv]

So in less than two weeks:

• I had to find emergency housing for someone in crisis.
  
• I flew out to Sweden to see ghoti_mhic_uait and the children.
  
• My father-in-law was taken ill very suddenly, and died a few days later.
  
• I squeezed half a holiday with my dear friends pseudomonas and hatam_soferet and her husband and daughter, around supporting jack dealing with grief and death bureaucracy.
  
• I gave a talk about my research to an international audience.

And now it's my last week at work and I have a zillion things to finish off before I leave.

Most of these are things I don't want to talk about outside a lock, but the upshot is I'm not very present online at the moment. We are coping on the whole, but if you have extra niceness to spare please send it jack's way.

Lots of love and sympathy.

My sympathies for jack (and you).

[nou]

Oof indeed. Thinking of you and Jack.

[rmc28]

Wow any one of those would be a lot. Lots of sympathy to Jack and you.

[soon_lee]

Best wishes.

So many sympathies, oh dear. I am in the midst of the labor of grief right now as well as the actual grief itself, and either one would be their own kind of overwhelming. Strength and kindness to all of you.

Wow, that's... a lot of things to deal with.

I am so sorry for your loss and hope that J can find strength at such a difficult time.

[ursula]

That is a lot of strands. May they weave together in a way that supports you and yours.
