I am posting this only because I have seen nobody else post it and I feel that people here can really band together to be there for one another when terrible things happen.

I learned last night that Susan Justice's 18 year old daughter suddenly and tragically passed away just a few days ago.  (Sveva)

Susan is a person who has been a wonderful member of this community for such a long time now.  She has contributed so much to what all of us do.  She is sweet and kind and helpful.  It is heart wrenching what she is going through right now.

On top of that, she is dealing with enormous financial stress.  Worrying about money should be the last thing a grieving mother has to do.  

Everything in her store is currently 30% off.  Go take a look, you know you will use the stuff eventually anyway, so why not go ahead and get it now :)  She has tons of great textures, tutorials, backgrounds and more.  I've never been disappointed with a Sveva product.

If you'd rather just give directly they have a gofundme:

and if you prefer to use paypal, her address is Cosmosue@hotmail.com

NOTE:  I do not know her personally.   Nobody has asked me to post this.  I am doing so because I really do believe there is a huge amount of good in this community and I know that there are many of you who will feel just the same as I do and want to help in any way you can.

OMG!! If I recall correctly the recent birth of her grandchild was also tragic as the baby was stillborn. I am guessing the mother of that baby is the daughter she just lost, so this is incredibly tragic for the family. My heart goes out to them to have to bear such loss.

Yes this was the mother of the baby.  This family has had to suffer through so much in just a short period of time.  It's unimaginable.

Unimaginable is a word often mis-used but in this case it is just that.  Thanks you for taking the time posting this and the ways we can help in a small way..  I can't begin to imagine how you cope with something like this.  My thoughts and prayers are with the family with a sincere hope that they can get through this and have happier times although clearly this will live with them forever.

Oh my. This is sad. My heart goes out to her and her family.

Oi that's terrible to read. :(

The page says that their daughter died in her sleep, it may not be much but it was probably a peaceful way to go.

They have my condolences.

She did.  I read all the posts on it last night and watched her tribute video.  I guess just trying to make some sense of how a tragedy like this can happen.  (There's no sense to be made, I know that, but I guess you just look for some kind of understanding.)

I read that she was surrounded by photos and momentos of her baby that she'd lost.  

No matter what 'medical' reasons they give, in my heart I feel this young lady died of a broken heart.  Too young, too sweet, too innocent to have to deal with the loss of her child.  

And now her poor momma is suffering the loss of both.  

There are times in life when you just wish you could take a little piece of a persons pain for them.  For me, this is one of those times.

I had read her interview she did here on Renderosity, some time ago, or was it her bio?  Anyway she had said she had 3 kids.  1 girl and 2 boys.  Her daughter was the oldest, and then her middle child has Autism.  She discussed how she moved along with her art and decided to start doing it full time working from home.

I guess I just related immediately.  My children are the same.  I have 3, 1 daughter 2 sons, the oldest is the girl and my middle child has Aspergers.  I was immensely inspired by her.  She is so talented and she gave me that nudge to work harder, try more.  I became a huge fan.

Now learning what she is going through, I just have no words.  I can't imagine. 

Very sorry to hear about her loss. 

We are also so sad for her loss, our hearts and prayers are with her.

I don't know her but she must be having a very hard time of it and it's very sad to hear such things.  I can't imagine what it must be like to lose a newborn and a daughter, but I certainly know what it's like to lose two people who are close to me, one just weeks after the other.

Right now she must be walking through a black cloud, and I hope she makes her way though it and starts feeling the sun again as soon as possible.

My condolences go out to the family... May her daughter and granddaughter rest in the Divine Peace and Love.

Could you please post the URL to the store here at Renderosity? I don't want to have search for it but go directly to the store.

Thanks

Here is the link to her store:

My condolences. I didn't know her, but I've suffered loss in my life recently, and I know too well how this feels. But I lost a parent. We shouldn't have to outlive our children.

Me as well.  My mother this last Christmas, and father in law in May.  I've watched my poor Grandmother go through this and my Mother was in her fifties.   

I measure every grief I meet I measure every grief I meet
  With analytic eyes;
I wonder if it weighs like mine,
  Or has an easier size.

I wonder if they bore it long,
  Or did it just begin?
I could not tell the date of mine,
  It feels so old a pain.

I wonder if it hurts to live,
  And if they have to try,
And whether, could they choose between,
  They would not rather die.

I wonder if when years have piled—
  Some thousands—on the cause
Of early hurt, if such a lapse
  Could give them any pause;

Or would they go on aching still
  Through centuries above,
Enlightened to a larger pain
  By contrast with the love.

The grieved are many, I am told;
  The reason deeper lies,—
Death is but one and comes but once
  And only nails the eyes.

There's grief of want, and grief of cold,—
  A sort they call 'despair,'
There's banishment from native eyes,
  In sight of native air.

And though I may not guess the kind
  Correctly yet to me
A piercing comfort it affords
  In passing Calvary,

To note the fashions of the cross
  Of those that stand alone
Still fascinated to presume
  That some are like my own.

Emily Dickinson
