Charlotte Johnson Wahl dies

merlotgran What a very unfeeling post! Some people have suffered terribly at their parents hands and vice versa. Read some of the estrangements posts. You could cry for so many people!

I'm not the one writing an unfeeling post, love0c.

We're commenting on Charlotte Johnson Wahl's death. Posts on the Gransnet estrangement threads have no relevance.

Here is Charlotte with her children

Thanks for sharing that portrait, trisher. It's brilliant and has caught him exactly. Love it.

totally agree with your first sentence rosie. However, if he has not spent much time with her I think he will suffer far more. The feelings of regret can be utterly heartbreaking. This is assuming he did actually like/love his mother. We have to remember not all parent/child relationships are always good.

Please put your wooden spoon away, love0c

Questioning Boris's relationship with his mother who has just died is distasteful.

RIP Charlotte.

I agree merlotgran

love0c I am not agreeing with your insinuations.

The whole family must be devastated; they are a close family with strong ties.

Pointless nasty comments. You know nothing about this woman's relationship with any of her children.

|How sad that some find that because I 'feel' for people who may have regret and then have to live with it, say these feelings are distasteful? I feel sad for you as well. I will not comment again

Perhaps as well....

There seems to have been some misunderstandings regarding love0c's post.

I am sorry for Boris and for the rest of the family; he will have little time to grieve privately, which I now know is important, having had to return to work immediately after both my parents' deaths.

You made the thread about your own personal feelings love0c

I didn’t know that she had been a talented artist.What a shame that she had Parkinsons from such a comparatively young age.
I expect that all her children will miss her presence in their lives.

No matter what anyone thinks about Boris himself, his politics, his decisions, he’s still lost his mum, and no doubt is having to just keep carrying on, and put his grief to one side.

By all reports Boris was extremely fond of his mother and she of him. I understand that he is more wary of Stanley, but who really knows. Losing parents is just horrible so I do feel very sorry for Boris and family at this sad and difficult time.
