My mother passed away on Monday (April 23rd) and it's been the culmination of a long and difficult illness. Real life and family is obviously the most important thing right now, but I am so grateful for the support and kindness shown by everyone, especially the past few days. My game Gramma World was inspired by my mom's struggles with her health, but her desire to live a delightful, saucy and fun-filled life. I will miss her greatly and hope to continue some of her positive and loving ways in my own life.

I am so sorry, sir. I have yet to experience the death of a parent, so I can't speak from experience on that. Not that I haven't experienced loss.
Almost anything I say will seem shallow and void, but I am not alone here in considering you a friend. Know that we wish there was something we can do to ease the pain.
You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. I know you probably have a lot of responsibilities on your shoulders right now, but when you can, try to find some time to just sit and remember the good times and all that you appreciate of your time with her. And take time to grieve. If you don't allow yourself the healing process, it will turn into a load you will carry for a long time.
It's hard to consider yourself right now, but when you can, take some time for yourself.
If you need time away from here, we will understand, and we will be here when you return.

My deepest condolences! Having lost my father just past December after rather short but heavy illness, I can totally imagine how you must feel right now. It's hard to get the head around the loss of a parent. So, take your time with everything.

Having recently lost a lifetime friend, and my wife's aunt suddenly dieing of an undiagnosed heart-attack - there is plenty of sorry going around.
Sorry you had to join the recently bereaved club. It really sucks, but you are not alone.

Ooof. I can't think of anything to say, only remember, as bad as this feels, it is the way of things. Un-natural would be for you to go first. Take the time to grieve, heal and don't rush it. The blues aren't over until you play eight bars twelve whole times.

Your mother seems like she was a vibrant and fun person on the pic. I can see where you got your humor from. Sadly we are getting into the age, where saying good bye to people we love happens more often than we care for. I trust you are in good hands with your family to mourn and say your good bye. I feel with you.

I lost my father to cancer years ago and the last few weeks that I had him around are when he was most alive to me. I'm sorry you've lost someone so special from your life. The loss hurts less over the years, but it never really goes away. Honor her memory by remembering the good that she brought to your life.
-Eric
