A close relative of OMM died suddenly today. It was a young person, on his W's side. OMM called to let me know he would be NC for a few days. I feel so terrible for him. No way to support him due to NC. I feel terribly bad for W too. I don't know his family at all but almost feel that I do, he describes them so lovingly. Poor sweet OMM. He is very sensitive and reflective but at the same time very macho so he is unlikely to get much comforting from anyone. He will be needed to comfort others. Which I'm sure he does very well. Nothing more to say. I feel so bad. Those of you who are religious, please remember my sweet OMM and his family in your prayers if you can.

I'm sorry about this and will keep you OMM and his family in my thoughts. It's times like this that will be difficult on us, when we can't be there for him.

It's nice to know you will be there to comfort him, if he does not receive this from others.

Lots of hugs to you and your MM! (((((((((((HUGS))))))))))) It is very hard when we want so badly to be there for them but can't be. Will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.

2 years ago I was in the EXACT situation that your MM is in now. Believe it or not, that is when i first realized I was falling in love with my OM, because of the longing I felt for him at that time to be there and comfort me.

Sometimes things like this put things in perspective for all involved, as I for one, have never been the same since!
