I'm truly sorry for your loss.

Please, if at all possible, allow sadness to overpower anger.

We, the DMF, is a great resource - use us!

My mother passed away early last year and the support messages I got meant a lot
You can have them now...

I have no words that will make your pain go away.

One more thing in life that no one can fix.

I'm so sorry.

talk about ask & you shall receive! you guys are amazing! this is the first time ive been able to check the board since i posted & im really overwhelmed at how many of you responded. It means everything to me...

The person that did it actually died in the fire..he set fires in multiple locations & the last one he set flashed back on him. Karma i suppose. Unfortunately it was a step brother that i really didn't know. My mom had remarried about 10 years ago & with her being in bama & me in cali i had met him but didn't really know him although when i had met him i literally said he was the type of person that would kill you while you were sleeping. Unfortunately i was right...

The news media is all over this. I guess i didn't think about that part. Reporters have been camped & had a live news feed going when i went by the house. They've been going through the mail too. I wish they would think about what has happened to my family & how people close to them might feel versus trying to get a scoop on something that will be last weeks news & forgotten about by them in a couple of days... They even had quotes from me in the local paper only problem was i had never said them..

The mortuary was able to get my mom & brother from the coroner today. Im having them created which seems so odd that soon my mom had& brother will be able to sit inside a little glass jar...i really hate this...im going to have a private memorial for them early next week...

The positive thoughts & energy seems to be working as i was able to hold it together today....

I really am grateful for all of your kind words. They help more than i could ever express.

I think I speak for everyone here when I say:

"We wish you didn't have to go through this, but we'll gladly to be there for you."

Let us know what you need.

Elyse, I'm so sorry that you're going through this, and even sorrier that you're now having to deal with those vultures. Positive thoughts and prayers sent for you and your family.

Thanks for the details - it helps me with the uncertainty of living in a world with pain like this.  

I wish I was closer and I would volunteer to chase media off your lawn!  

It is amazing how you had the intuition many years ago that this person was evil.  

Just and idea - but regardless of your faith or lack of, pastors / priests / clergy can help make bad situations a little better by knowing what to say and sharing experiences.

[Mojo S2R]

Good thoughts coming your way.  Really don't know what else to say.  God Bless.

[ManaloEA]

Elyse,

Sorry to hear your story, and sad that you have to go through it. Positive thoughts, prayers, meditations, energy... whatever you will accept... are being sent your way.

This.

I can see the 6 o'clock news now...

"It was a frightening scene today as 300 Ducati motorcycles pulled onto the lawn. The din of their exhausts rendered the audio feed useless, they tipped over the news van, and poured Starbucks on the grief fetishists news team. We won't be returning to the scene as they said if we came back that one of them would lead a horde of rats against us."


Humor is my coping mechanism, I hope you don't take offense. I can't imagine what you're going through and as empty as it feels saying it since I can't do a damn thing, you're in my thoughts.

I received a response to a PM that I sent Elyse that is included below (w/minor edits).  I'm hesitant to include her address on this open forum (not because of any of you of course).      So if you want it, PM me and I'll forward it.



From Elyse:

"I really do appreciate all of you so much..with my mom & brother gone its just me left from my immediate family & im having to deal with so many things i have no idea how to do...

...as far as flowers i really would prefer not to have any sent it just seems even sadder to me when the flowers die.

donations to charities would be amazing really any military or children's charities would be great..

as far as notes sent my way, since the house is destroyed im staying in a hotel but if you wanted to send them to my home address where i could read them when i get home that would also be great.

i really can't say thank you enough"

My sincere condonlences...  I'm so sorry.
