Kansas! Again.
At 9:05. I don't know what I'm going to do. I've been trying to keep my mother calm; I feel... I don't know. Empty.

I'm not trying to be whiney, I'm sorry, I just... don't have anyone to talk to.

We're all here for your, Bart. Everyone reacts differently when they lose a loved one so just try to stay calm and allow yourself to feel whatever emotions comes your way.

As others have said, look after yourself. You cannot be expected to help anybody else unless you are taking care of yourself first.

My condolences to you and your mother, Bart. As others have said, if you are called upon to stand tall for others, take time to look after yourself.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

My condolances to your and your mother.

Just being there and comforting your mom helps her alot.

When my dad died, there were alot of decisions to be made going through the whole event. Help her to stay focused on what needs to be done. I'm sure family and friends will also bring comfort.

Stay strong, she needs you to be there.

Bart, you've got my PM, my e-mail, and my IM ID if you need to chat. I'll keep it open.

I'm sorry, Bart. I know words are of no comfort at a time like this, but you know I'm here should you need to just talk with someone.

I'm so sorry Bart, you know we're all here for you, of course. I don't know how much we can do, but we can certainly offer support. Good luck.
