I'm so sorry! We are all here for you!

I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry! Take the time you need and then reschedule. Now wouldn't be a good time for physical healing along with the emotions you'll be dealing with. Take care and lots of prayers for you and your family.

Deepest condolences on your terrible and sudden loss!

I know you've been planning and looking forward to your surgery, but right now your world has shifted right beneath your feet. You need to focus on your family and your own emotional health. There will be time for your physical health to be the first priority, and you will know when that time is just right.

I am certain your surgeon will understand. This surgery requires your full attention, dedication and the wide support of your friends and family to be successful long-term. At the moment, none of you are ready to do that.....you need time to mourn, to heal and to understand what your lives will look like going forward from today. There's no way to know how it will all go......just take each day and each moment as they come and know that love surrounds you in your loss and in your recovery from this shock.

I lost my mother suddenly and unexpectedly and my brother 5 months later. It took a VERY long time to "normalize" after that.

My thoughts, prayers and support are with you.

ohhh i am so sorry for your loss! hang in there when the time is right you will get your surgery God bless you and your family.

I'm very sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family.

Hugs and prayers from the midsouth!

Sorry for your loss. Prayers go out to you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers are with you.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Prayers going out for you & your family.

I am sure you will be able to reschedule your surgery so try to just focus on you & your family for now. Much love being sent.

I am so terribly sorry. I lost my baby sister 5 years ago, the recovery from that... well... it is slow. You have my prayers.
