She is a valued contributor here. I know all the awfulness is hard to bear at times. And then on top of that to not be paid for your work! But I hope she hangs in there because we all need as many other good people as possible to be in this with us and help us through, you know? We need your Mom too.

SO very glad to have you with us. I love Atomic Kitten! I'm so sorry that Newtown has affected her this deeply. It's been an emotional blow to a lot of us! The thing I've really come to appreciate about this place, personally, beyond just how one becomes smarter, better educated, more deeply aware, more sophisticated, more informed by hanging out here, is the fellowship. One DUer has said it best (dang, I wish I remember whose post it was!) that "someone's always here." Might have been Skittles. Someone IS always here. People here are so good at reaching out, commiserating, sympathizing, consoling, sitting vigil, and other extensions of support and comfort. People here have such big hearts and broad shoulders.

Much love to you and your mom (and hugs to you, too libodem)! I'll check out that link.

if i was in SF i'd volunteer to get on the phone with them myself...

i must also say, i am so sorry she's going through such a bad time. remind her that she is not the crazy one: this world, this country, republicans, off the rails. things that do not seem to make sense really don't make sense; we are a sick nation at this point in time. all the best to a quick recovery and some peace of mind.

Did you guys know that Wishadoo was created by one of your fellow DUers? I'm not going to out the person but I find it interesting that we are often accused of being keyboard warriors and this flies in the face of that, doesn't it?

We are almost there for Atomic Kitten and her son. If you can, donate. If you can't, send good wishes and keep this kicked, please.

We can't despair. We do learn, slowly, from tragedy.

Missing and thinking of Atomic Kitten and hoping for her full recovery and swift return to DU. Posters like her make the rest of us feel better about things.

Please think of them as your friends now. I am so sorry for what the pain of life and the agony of the senseless deaths of those kids drove your mother to do. Know that you have a lot of support and are in the thoughts of many people, as is your mom.

Let yourself feel what you need to feel.

might tell her from me is that sometimes I get so very sad and heartbroken at things on this Planet but one of the biggest things that has helped me is to laugh. Find things that make you laugh. Somehow.
I had to actually buy a dog that was fun crazy to help me over several humps with death in family, etc......

I took part in an effort to make 3 x 5 ft quilts for each of the surviving siblings of the Sandy Hook children. Somehow there was a miscount, and I ended up making an extra quilt. If your mother would like to have it, send me a PM telling me how I can get it to her. If you prefer not to provide a stranger with such information, I understand; just accept the good wishes.

At its center is a panel called the Healing Tree, and the Four Chinese Celestial Animals guard each side.

As soon as I saw that panel, I knew I had to make a quilt out of it. I've been waiting for the universe to tell me who I made it for, obviously someone who needs healing. But don't we all?

we didn't seem to get along with regard to who we supported for President and it got a little heated at times. But I wish her a full recovery and very soon.

On edit: hang in there, I know how stressful it can be with financial stuff. If you let the stress get to you then it will make the situation worse. So don't let it. Just do the best you can.

very smart, sensitive, insightful woman, filled with love. I know that her presence on DU is very much appreciated by the thousands of DU members who read her posts.

When it is possible -- please tell her that her community on DU supports her fully, and I am sure we will all do what we possibly can to help, and we will do so with great love.

Please tell her that many have joined Gabby Gifford's Americans For Responsible Solutions, which has advocated for better gun control laws. Hope is a good thing.
