A Terrible Thing

Tiffany Faith Lindsey
February 17, 1985-May 6, 2010
A terrible thing has happened in my life. My 25-year-old daughter, Tiffany Faith, died last Thursday in Los Angeles.
Two of my adult daughters and I are driving to Los Angeles, leaving today. We are driving straight through and hope to arrive Thursday. We are going to see Tiffany one more time, to go to the place where she died, to meet with those who loved her and treated her in Los Angeles, and to bring her remains home with us. We need a place to stay in Los Angeles Thursday night, Friday night and Saturday night. If any of you reading whom I know would be able to put us up on any of those nights, we would be so grateful. The thought of staying in a hotel during this time seems cold and sad. You can comment privately here with your contact information or email me at cheryllindseyseelhoff@gmail.com.
If you are a praying person, if you could pray for me and for my family.
Much love,
Heart <3

I can’t even conceive of what you and your children must be feeling. I love you, and I will be praying for you and yours.
I have no words, or no good or helpful ones. I am so so sorry you and yours have suffered this devastating loss.
May her memory be a blessing.
Oh Heart, I am so so sorry.
My prayers and thoughts are with you.
Heart! I am so sorry. My arms hold you. I cannot imagine how you can bear this. I was exited to see a girl obviously yours download on my monitor. Not this, a mother’s most awful fear. I’ll be thinking of you all the rest of the night Heart. xxxooo
My heartfelt condolences to you and your family Heart. This is very sad.
Heart I am so sorry for yours and your family’s loss, I will be lifting you all up in prayer.

Your daughter was so beautiful, Heart. I hope the arms of your other children can bring comfort in your grief, which I know will be deep and long.
Goddess keep you.
This is terrible Heart. I’m so sorry.
Blessings to you Heart and your family.
Heart, I am so sorry for the loss of your lovely daughter. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Heart this is devasting news. Words alone cannot possibly express what you and your family are experiencing. No mother wishes to outlive her daughter. All I can say is I hope your journey is not subjected to difficulties.
I was shocked to read this this morning, and am so sorry for your loss. Prayers.
How very sad to hear this. The loss of someone so much a part of you.
Such awful news. I’ll be thinking of you.
Heart, I am so sorry. I don’t know what to say at all. All I can think of is that I wish you and your family strength and peace to get through this horrible time.
What?! I had no idea. This is terrible. I am so sorry. I hope you can do something restful and renewing soon.
My prayers and tears are with you and your family Heart. I am so so sorry.
I’m so so sorry Heart. All my love to you and your family. Love you.
Adding my tears and my prayers as well. I can’t believe this happened. I’m so, so sorry for your loss, Heart.
Hugs to you and yours. We are so sorry for your loss. Take Care.

I love you all so much. Thank you.
Heart
I will absolutely be praying for you and your family, and I am so very sorry.
Sending much love and light to you and your family, Heart.
May you find comfort and an abundance of love to see you through this. <3 <3 <3
I’m so very sorry. There is nothing worse than losing a child.
Heart, I’m so sorry. I hope you and your family can comfort each other.
Oh, Heart,
Just saw this now. My arms are open wide to you, with much thoughts and prayers.
Heart, It’s been a long time since I checked in. I’m so sorry that you’ve experienced such a terrible loss. My thoughts and heart go out to you.
Oh this is late but I’m so sorry Heart. Thinking of you.
How are you doing Heart? I am not asking for a personal confession, just wondering how you are coping. Losing a child has got to be the worst. We are supposed to go before they do. Grief is very lonely.
Take care of yourself and let your family heal you. Sometimes the matriarch just has to let them.
For some reason, I have been thinking of you lately and all the work you have done on line and all the crap you have taken from both men and women and probably me too. Learning radical feminism is hard work. There is so much to purge.
I am not sure where I am going with this, but lately I have been reading Nelle Morton’s The Journey is Home. She was a good friend of Mary Daly, yet remained in the church. How is that for bridging?
I leave you with a Druid triad.
The three great melodies of Creation: the wind in the trees, the stream at snowmelt, the cry of a new-born babe.
Just checked in here after a long absence and am so sorry to hear of this devastating loss. I will be praying for you and your family.
*sigh* Just now saw this, Cheryl. No words are coming… but prayers are indeed flowing, in the silent grief & sorrow I feel for you & your precious family. We, your friends, are here… most of the time unseen but hopefully never unfelt.
Love you~ Andrea
Cheryl - I hadn’t been able to access your website for quite awhile but found it again today. I am so sorry to hear about Tiffany. I can’t imagine how you are coping with this loss. She was a beautiful girl. Just so sorry.
Cheryl, I am so sorry. I was a former “Gentle Spririt” reader, had lost touch with what was happening in your life. Nothing compares to the loss of your child. My heart goes out to you and your family. Wishing you peace and comfort in the midst of your grief.
Heart: I just saw this - I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you.
Heart, I wish this was more timely, but I am so sorry. My heart hurts for you and your family, and my thoughts are with you all. I wish there were something more helpful to say, but all I know is that people who have never even met you care about you, and any child of someone that extraordinary, that loving, is not just a tragic loss for you, but for all people who would have lived in a better world because she was in it. It’s not fair. I’m sorry.
