R.I.P Nunzia Romano.
Going on from the thread last week regarding my mates mum.
Sadly she passed away Friday morning at 1.30am.
Giac..or Jack as he’s known to many managed to find the music she wanted playing at her funeral. He sat gently singing to the music to her as she fell to sleep for the last time.
She managed to last long enough to see her first grandchild so I suppose she has this little bonus to take with her.
Giac and the family are very upset. I know no one on here knew her, but from me I thought saying goodbye to her on here would be a way of sending the family my condolences and wishing them all the best for the future.Karl.

Hey Karl,
Its good to do stuff like this. I’m sorry for your loss. I didn’t know her, but it is important sometimes just to acknowledge something like this, as it is good for the grief that you are going through too.
Your friend will appreciate your kindness too, and as your online family, I’m sure we all appreciate that talking about lost friends and family is an important part of the grieving and healing process.
Be a good listener to your friend mate, Even if he doesn’t express gratitude, he will appreciate it.
Whether it be our animals or anything else dear to us, we should never feel the need to suppress our feelings. More than a few listening ears on these boards I’m sure.
Take care

Thanks guys. On top of all this Giacs dad is going in for a heart op next week. We’re all hoping this goes well. I’m sure it will but it’s a lot for his family to take on board. And I thought i had problems. 😕

Thanks for that. Giacs coming over shortly. He’s asked me to print some photos off for him to put in mums coffin. He’s really in bits and i’m really not looking forward to him breaking down as I know he will when the images come up on screen. I don’t normally hug blokes. I know he’ll start me off blubbering. This is going to be hard when he gets here.

Deep breaths mate, deep breaths 😉

Emotions will be very high Karl
Nothing you can do about that
Its good that Giac has a good trusted friend he knows he can depend on whilst he’s going through thisJust be there for him and listen
Some folk try not to mention the deceased for fear it might upset close ones but really its a time to remember the person
Remembering the funny things that have happened can often lighten the sadness -
Giac came in earlier. Considering his loss he managed to hold it together while he was here. Later he rang me and asked all kinds of questions. "Will she look the same when we see here tomorrow?" All I could say was "look mate, she’s your Mum. She’ll always be as you remember her, the lady who raised you and loved you. That’s all you need to focus on."
I really do feel for him. If it were me in his position I know I would be inconsolable.
