Take care, man.

And, as per all the other replies here, take all the time you need - both to look after your mother and yourself.

We'll be here for you, ready to read your fab pieces, on your return.

I am very sorry for your loss, Luke. As many have stated, please take your time. We will be here when you return. No matter their age or even their health, the loss of a parent can set you adrift. One is never prepared for it.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's a grim time whenever it happens in life and there is so much to deal with. ( Btw, please don't even consider posting again until you feel you want to).

So sorry for your loss... Words fail when that happens, I know from personal experience. As for social media, you'll be back when you are good and ready. There is more time limit on this, life takes precedence...

You can suspend Substack and they don’t take the fees for however long. I’ve seen others on Substack do this so it must be easy to sort out

So sorry to hear this. Even though we expect (?) this somehow when our parents make old bones we then expect them to go on for ever. It’s also a wake up call for us too around our own mortality. Thinking of you
