A note to explain my long silence here: my Mum died a couple of weeks ago, after a long and increasingly debilitating illness. I asked Yi, before we came over to visit her in hospital this time, what I could do for her, and it answered with 23, unchanging. So I set no directions, made no plans, and just kept her company – and that was enough.

hi hilary
so sorry to hear about your bereavment. big cyber hugs from a stranger. i really enjoy your site but i hope you will take as much time as you need before you get back whenever that is.
love
mark.
So sorry, but what an answer from the Change! Awsome.
Thanks. Yes, it was a great help: I’m very much the planning-ahead type, so this let me slow down, prepare myself, and be there for her (instead of in 6 different possible futures at once). And somehow it also helped at the time of death, not quite sure how.
I’m really sorry about your loss, Hilary. After all these years I consider you like my own family, even if I don’t participate as much as before in the forum.
My best wishes for you and your family.

So sorry Hilary.

Dear Hilary, I only just realised your mother has died a while ago. I’m so sorry to hear it. Thankyou for sharing your experience of such a difficult time.

My condolences; losing my mom young was the hardest thing in my life. You were blessed by the I Ching, no doubt about that.
