The call…

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I just received the call that we knew was coming for two weeks. My mom passed away at 5:25 p.m. Montana time today. Maryam and I are driving there this weekend.

So many of my coworkers have been dropping into my office and wishing me kind things and sharing stories about their experiences with their loved ones passing away.

I knew the call would unleash more emotion on my behalf. Even with two weeks of preparation it still hits hard. Gotta call my brothers now. Thank you for all of your kind wishes and story sharing during this time. It really means a lot and changed my view forever about what this community means.

  8. Robert,

    We met in Boston, and I was out at the Syndicate Conference in New York while you were in MT. Anyhow, I know this is a tough time from personal experience and my prayers are with you and your family.

    I know you only through your blog. We’ve never met. But you have touched and inspired me–and some of that energy must be somehow from your mom. I’m saddened by your loss.

  37. Sorry to hear that Robert. I-90 is down to two lanes through Spokane (http://www.downtownfreewayfix.net has some images to help). Drive safely – it’s a long way, I know being a Montana boy myself. Give a ring if you need to break up the drive by stopping in Spokane. 509-979-6724.

  56. I still have a note that got me through the death of my dad. The note contains the words of Mary Frye that resonate from the Big Sky. I have to thumb through it whenever I hear of a death affecting a friend:

    Don’t stand by my grave and weep,
    For I am not there.
    I do not sleep.
    I am a thousand winds that blow,
    I am the diamond’s glint in the snow,
    I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
    I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
    In the soft blush of the morning light
    I am the swift bird in flight.
    Don’t stand by my grave and cry,
    I am not there,
    I did not die.

    I know it doesn’t seem like it know, but in the end, it’s better to have a clean end of things, than to spend months waiting for the other shoe to drop. I did that for a year with my dad. You get to hate the phone ringing, because every call is potentially “the call”.

    I remember when all the relatives had left, and my mom and I were sitting alone in the house, I said “Don’t take this as mean, but thank friggin’ GOD that’s finally done”

    She started laughing, and said, “Oh thank god, I thought I was the only one thinking that. I miss Tom terribly, but I could have done without my last memories of him being what he went through in the hospital” Then she really started laughing hard, and said, “He’s going to be SO angry that he got creamated…he really wanted to have his body used as fertilizer”. Dad had a VERY pragmatic attitude towards death, but he saw a lot of it in Korea.

    Death is an end, but not just to life. It’s an end to the death watch we go through when things like this happen. My roommate’s mom died not long ago, but she didn’t have time to even say goodbye. Her mom slipped into a sudden coma, and she had to say goodbye over the phone. It broke her heart, knowing that her aunt was holding the phone up to her ear. She’d have given much to have been able to be there to say goodbye. Ironically, I’d put together a bunch of contributions from her mom, and other friends and family to get her a Gibson SG. didn’t know that it would be the last thing her mom would ever give her or help give her.

    And if you make it out to Macworld or the WWDC, I’ll buy the first round, and probably a few more.

  134. My condolences, Robert. It’s never an easy call to get. I had to put my mother in a nursing home and become her guardian. About a year and a half after that both my mother and mother-in-law were diagnosed with terminal illnesses within two months of each other. One morning I called the nurse’s station at the nursing home from work to check on their evaluation of how she was doing. They said she was fine and her order for lunch had just been taken. An hour and a half later they called to tell me that when they’d taken her lunch in to her they’d found that she’d died. That’s what made it a shocker for me. There had been no indication it was that close for her. My mother-in-law outlived her by nine months.

    Be well.

    Since meeting you at Microsoft (with Steven Cohen and Marydee in April when Mike and Thiru demonstrated Windows Live Academic Search) I’ve read your blog and about your journey as you come to terms with your mom’s illness. I, too, am travelling down a road of loss as my mum is ill. In plain language, you have caught so many of the feelings I’m going through: shock, fear, grief, anger. For sons, the world is a sadder, lonelier place without the love of our mums. Your posts remind me of the time I need to cherish with mum, and the other loved ones in my life.

Now, I talk to him all the time, in my head, and what I’ve found is that I talk now to the best parts of him — the wise, compassionate, experienced man who loved his family, and much less to the guy who was set in his ways and made attilla the hun look left wing. 🙂 There is a good Anne Lamont book (Plan B) that is a collection of essays, some of which deal with her relationship with her mom, who has passed away.

  236. You have my sympathy. In losing a parent there’s not only the anguish, there’s also the feeling of dislocation – of wanting to express your opinion on something and realizing that isn’t possible any longer.

    Take care.

  238. No matter how long you prepare for a parent’s death it is never easy. As so many people said to me, time doesn’t heal but does dull the hurt and your memories do help ease the pain. Heartfelt wishes to you and your family.

  249. I saw my dad’s death coming for 10 years and my father-in-law’s for a year. And still it surprised me twice.
    I wish you strength.

  251. I was away on a business trip and only learned of this today, Robert. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
       I know what you are going through and as so many above have said, the loss of a parent hurts like heck. You may begin noticing, however, that although your Mom has passed from this physical world, that connection you have with her, which you felt while you worked in Washington state, remains almost identical. That is the love she has for you, and it will always be there.

  256. A poem for you — one which has helped many move from the pain of death back to the joy of life:

    Grieve Not

    Grieve not, nor keep my memory fresh

    With flowers laid daily on my grave,

    I am not there, ‘Tis but the earthly shell,

    My soul has gone to Him, who gave.

    Hold me not forever dead,

    for Death Is but a moment’s passing,

    then the Light, And into G-d’s kind hands,

    I rest Forever, from my earthly flight.

    But if on a summer’s day, you hear a singing bird,

    Or see a rose pearled with morning dew,

    I bid you, think of me with smiling lips,

    For such were mine, each day of Life, with you.

    – Beth M. Spaulding

  258. Robert my prayers continue to be with you and your family. May the bond between you have grown even closer as a result of this loss. Life has a way of keeping us grounded as to what really matters at the end of each day.

    Remember somone once said. . .”God is in the pause” so take a moment of reflection each day to listen what is being said today.

  260. Mr. Scoble,
    Nothing I can type can really add to what’s already been typed. Having lost my dad Nov. 5 after a long on-and-off fight against cancer, I can somewhat understand what you are going through (though, no one truly can).

    You and your entire family have my full condolences and well-wishes.
