There is no poetry in my world tonight.
Non-academic thoughts on widowhood, single-motherhood, and, every once in a while, academia. And yes, this will be on the final exam.

Hi, Dorcasina. I saw the post at New Kid's place. I read some of your story this morning and I'm so, so sorry to hear about your husband. I cant imagine what that kind of loss must feel like, but I hope that you take some comfort in knowing how many of us out here are thinking of you and sending you our support.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.
It's amazing to see the community here, linked together like this. I came via a link from Dean Dad.
I am sorry for your loss, and I wish you comfort in the times ahead.
Dorcasina,

You will carry yourself forward and I hope that the love and support of your friends will help you cherish your memories and tell stories of your wonderful partner to your daughter. i'm so sorry.
D,
Your Beloved's life was poetry. Though the pages may seem to fade, the verses will stay with you. They are the eternal rocks beneath. Love and peace to you.
Although a stranger, I offer my heartfelt sympathies to you and yours.
I'm so sorry. You don't know me, but I came from New Kid's. You'll be in my prayers.
I found you via Byzantium's Shores.
I am so sorry to read of your pain and loss.
But sometime in the far-off future, after the pain has subsided, I know that you will look into your daughter's eyes and see him and know that he lives on in you and in her.
I'm so sorry. I wish there was something we could do.
More condolences from a total stranger. For whatever that may be worth, my thoughts are with you and your little girl. May you find peace in time.
Dorcasina,
I'm so sorry.
During the long sinlence in your blog, my thoughts have been with you. As another comment said: hoping for the best, fearing the worst.
You are in my thoughts.
This blog hit close to home with me as a similar experience happened to my family last year.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I am so very sorry for your loss. When we find our soul mates we expect them to be there forever, and the world just doesn't make sense when we lose them. You, your daughter, and your beloved husband are in my prayers.
There just aren't any words that can give comfort at a time like this. I am truly sorry for your loss, and will be thinking of you.
Found you via Badger. I am so truly sorry for your loss. I wish you peace as you navigate the minefield that is grief...
I also found you through Badger's blog.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Each small good thing in your world - an act of kindness by a friend, the curve of your daughter's cheek, sunrise, a poem, a memory - each small good thing is like a pinpoint star. When the sun hides somewhere on the other side of the world for a long, long time, your eyes begin to adjust, and you come to navigate by such stars.
You are not forgotten, even for a day, by more than one someone you do not know. That is a distant star I know, but we send what light we have, and we are part of your universe.
Dorcasina,
I've been away from blogging and just read about your loss. I am so, so very sorry. My heart breaks for you.
Hey there. Can I ask if you know of any sites like this one (south african red wine) where I can meet other people interested in wine, particularly south african red wine?
Cheers
