My mother has died after a terrible stroke. I’m in New Mexico now, dealing with everything that follows, and I’m struggling with it all. There won’t be a post this week. I’ll be back next Friday.

  • Sylvia, I and I am sure all your followers will be saddened by your news. Wishing you the very best sorting things out. Take your time to come to terms with your loss. Aircraft incidents can wait. My thoughts are with you, take care.

  • Hi Sylvia,
    My thoughts and sadness fly to you. I have lost both my parents and the loss affects me now, years after. BUT my own grief and sadness has become fond memories of the good times we shared.
    In time I hope you will land in that same place.

  • As a double stroke survivor myself I send you my deepest commiserations and thoughts to you Silvia at the worst time of year for this to happen. May she rest in peace. Much love to you. X

  • Sylvia, deepest condolences to you and your family. This is terrible; the sting of death is awful. It is okay and good to grieve.

  • Very sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. You and your family are in my thoughts. Please don’t feel pressured to post here. Take whatever time is needed for the healing process. Best wishes, Chris

  • Sylvia,

    Of course you have all sympathy from your loyal readers and followers.
    We enjoy your blogs, we will miss them but there are times when we must understand that you need time and space to come to terms with your loss.

    I join the readers who extend their heart-felt condolences.
    We will look out for the next entry, but you need time to overcome your grief. That is only human.

    Take your time, come to terms with your loss. Losing a parent is never easy.

    When you feel strong enough to resume, we will be back at the screen.

  • I’m so sorry. My prayers are with you and your family. I lost my Mom a year ago, I know how terrible it is.

  • I wish you strength when you need it, and the space to be weak and feel the loss when you need it, too.

    I’m using the time to browse your substack at https://sylviawrigley.substack.com/ . The Oct 18 entry has a picture of pictures of zeppelins, but is only vaguely aviation-related. I do enjoy the writing, though.

  • Deepest sympathy. Take your time. I hope you have the space to take care of what you need.
    Kindest regards

  • My sincere condolences, Sylvia.

    Don’t rush back; you’ve given us lots to read and lots to talk about over the years, and it’s time to put your own life first for a little.

    You will be in our thoughts and prayers, and may your Mum rest in peace.

  • My family and I join your other readers in offering our condolences and warmest sympathy to you. We hope good memories will give you some comfort as you grieve.

  • All my sympathies to you. Take what time you need; there are always more things to deal with than you expect.
