I've followed your blog for about a year now and have always been amazed by your strength and in awe of your ability to move forward when things go wrong.
I wish you that same strength now. You're in my kindest thoughts, Lisa.
oh i'm so sorry - my heart sank when i read this. sending my deepest sympathies to you and your family.
i know how difficult it is but i hope you find solace in the peace he's found for himself... i can't even find the words right now, i'm just so so sorry to hear this
So very sorry. To be faced with such a terrible loss and all the sadness and stress it brings during a time that should be among the happiest of one's life is unimaginable.
Lisa, I'm so very sorry to hear that. I admire your strength and learned so much from your willingness to share the struggles within your family. Take care of yourself and your mom.
Tejal passed the news along. I am so so so so sorry. Absolutely breaks my heart that you have had to go through this. Our best thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
lisa, please let us know if there's anything we can do for you in the coming days and weeks - i know there are a lot of people here in the DC area, never mind all over the country, who want to help if and when we can.
Lisa, I am so sorry for your loss! You and your family will continue to stay in my thoughts and I will continue to send you positive energy and hugs!!! Love to you in this difficult time!
Lisa I have followed you for years but never commented. I look forward to your belly shots and I delight in your joy. But beyond that I admire your bravery, to be so raw and thorough when writing about your life. I have never been able to write about my own demons- losing my father to cancer, extreme suffering from bipolar disorder. I would never claim to identify with your pain, but I feel a kinship with you. You speak my language.
I spent the day working, with one eye on my feed reader for news from you. It finally came. Thank you for taking the time to share with your readers, so that we can mourn too. Godspeed.
God dammit. I hope he finds the peace he was looking for. I'm keeping you and Betty in my thoughts. I never comment but I just wanted to reach out this time.
I've followed your blog for as long as I can remember, but this is the first time I have commented.
I'll be thinking of you all at this hard time.
Please make sure that while you are looking after your mom and nick that you ensure you look after yourself and the baby, as hard and as selfish as that sounds, it's important.
I came into work this morning and felt the need to read your blog...and was excited when I saw there was an entry from the weekend. :) But then I was immediately surprised and saddend by your news. How awful. So sad for your family and your Dad. With love, Carolyn
Lisa, I am so deeply sorry to hear this news. I sincerely hope your father has finally found the peace that he so desperately craved, and that you and your family will be able to find peace as well, despite this tragic loss. I wish there was more I could do to bring you comfort during this difficult time. With love and sympathy, Gabrielle
I don't even know you and my eyes filled with tear when I read this. You and Betty are in my thoughts. As many others have said, I too admire your strength and courage through all of this.
I know that there's nothing that can be said to make this better. But know that you are loved, so very much, and that we are all now carrying around a little bit of your pain. God, Lisa. I'm so sorry. Please let me know if you need anything - ANYTHING.
Words are not enough and perhaps that's a good thing b/c the lump in my throat would prevent any from escaping. My heart goes out to you and your family. My sincerest condolences in this very sad time. Big hugs to you.
Oh Lisa. My heart breaks for you. Reading your blog for about 9 months now, I’ve come to see what an incredible person you are. I’m so sorry you have to go through this… Take care of yourself, and especially your baby. He needs you to be strong right now. Big hugs to you and Betty, and Nick. And the baby. Please take care of yourself.
Lisa, I am so sorry to hear about your father. May we all find comfort in believing that he has found the peace he was looking for. May you and your family know that so many thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We all love you. God Bless. Mary Susan
Oh Lisa! I am so sorry for your loss! I don't really know what to say, other than I will be thinking of you and please take care of yourself and your baby. GIANT HUGS!
I've been reading your blog on a regular basis since September 2007. I don't believe I have ever commented, but now I feel the need to, i felt my stomach drop when I read this, it truly saddened me to know that you have to go through this right now, and i don't even know you? ohh the internet. I really hope your father has found peace wherever he may be. my thoughts are with you. Take Care.
i am so sorry to hear about your dad. you and betty are in my thoughts.
about a year ago, i wrote to you about my sister who was and continues to be actively suicidal. just reaching out to you and reading your blog gave me a kind of comfort.
i wish i could give you the biggest hug and cry some of your tears for you. i am so, so sorry.
by the way, if you need to house some people coming in for the funeral, please let me know. we haven't met so that may be a weird offer. but i thought maybe a couch or two may actually help better than "let me know if i can help."
I'm so, so sorry. Sending thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
