The call…
I just received the call that we knew was coming for two weeks. My mom passed away at 5:25 p.m. Montana time today. Maryam and I are driving there this weekend.
So many of my coworkers have been dropping into my office and wishing me kind things and sharing stories about their experiences with their loved ones passing away.
I knew the call would unleash more emotion on my behalf. Even with two weeks of preparation it still hits hard. Gotta call my brothers now. Thank you for all of your kind wishes and story sharing during this time. It really means a lot and changed my view forever about what this community means.

That’s terrible news, I’m sorry for your loss.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:50 pm
Robert,
We met in Boston, and I was out at the Syndicate Conference in New York while you were in MT. Anyhow, I know this is a tough time from personal experience and my prayers are with you and your family.

is Maryam Iranian? and what is ur relationship?
May 25th, 2006 at 4:54 pm
Robert,
I know you only through your blog. We’ve never met. But you have touched and inspired me–and some of that energy must be somehow from your mom. I’m saddened by your loss.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:58 pm
Babak, yeah, she grew up in Tehran and lived there until she was 14-years-old. She’s my wife.

And you got a community behind you.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:00 pm
She’s a peace now, Robert. It will be a challenge to deal with for the next little while, but you will get through. Thankfully, you have a HUGE support network on which to lean.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:03 pm
I am sorry for your loss.

Thanks everyone! You all are great.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:10 pm
Robert, so sorry to hear that. Thanks again for letting us take part in your grief — this one corner of the web at least has grown more human. We’re thinking about you and wishing you the best.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:12 pm
So sorry for you guys and the whole family.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:16 pm
[...] Robert Scoble’s Mom just passed away. Robert has been sharing his sorrowful anticipation of this moment with us in his blog, and I feel like a member of my own family is gone now. The web is made of humans after all. [...]

Our deepest condolences from my husband Loke Uei and I. Safe journey and do not forget to take care of yourself and your family.

May 25th, 2006 at 5:42 pm
Robert,
I’m deeply sorry to hear this. I believe that all of us Scoblizer readers are with you at this moment; while we feel sorry, we also feel that we were made part of your most personal feelings - and made us think about family, health, and all those important things. We need to thank you for that.
My sincere condolences to you and your family.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:43 pm
Robert, I’m sorry to hear about your mom, may she rest in peace. My prayers are with you and your family.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:43 pm
A very difficult time. The loss of your Mother, as I have experienced it, can be the most depressing and upsetting time of a persons life. It is very likely that your Mother would wish you to carry on and continue the good work you have been doing for all of us. Please accept my condolances.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:45 pm
She’s in a better place now. Hopefully you can find the peace she already has. Our thoughts are with you in this tough time.
Now get off the pc and go be with your family! :-)
May 25th, 2006 at 5:46 pm
Your work ethic thoughout all of this has been astounding
You really are Scobleman

I’m sorry to hear that.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:49 pm
I still have a note that got me through the death of my dad. The note contains the words of Mary Frye that resonate from the Big Sky. I have to thumb through it whenever I hear of a death affecting a friend:
Don’t stand by my grave and weep,
For I am not there.
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond’s glint in the snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
In the soft blush of the morning light
I am the swift bird in flight.
Don’t stand by my grave and cry,
I am not there,
I did not die.
May 25th, 2006 at 5:59 pm
Best wishes to you and your family in this tough time.
May 25th, 2006 at 6:01 pm
Robert,
Sorry to hear about your loss. May the Lords grace and loving hand be with you and your family at this difficult time.

May 25th, 2006 at 6:14 pm
My condolences. Take your time with this. In experience, it takes a while to sink in, and a lot longer to reconcile.
I said it before, but here’s the best advice I received when my Mom passed away: chin up.
May 25th, 2006 at 6:15 pm
My deepest sympathies to you. Safe travels, and many prayers.
May 25th, 2006 at 6:17 pm
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Hold your family close and know that all of us are there with you.
May 25th, 2006 at 6:25 pm
You’re family will be in our thoughts this weekend, Robert. Safe travels!
May 25th, 2006 at 6:30 pm
You can never be completely ready for something like this. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Travel safe.
May 25th, 2006 at 6:35 pm
I’m sorry that you have lost someone who means so much to you. I pray for the best for you and your family. Thanks for the wonderful blog and being open to express yourself with all of us. Take care and God Bless you and your family.
May 25th, 2006 at 6:36 pm
Thankfully she gave you a chance to say goodbye.
May 25th, 2006 at 6:36 pm
Robert, My condolences on your loss. I am another reader of your blog, we have never met, but your openness in posting this most personal of stories is much appreciated. May your you and your family be comforted at this time.
May 25th, 2006 at 6:44 pm
I am very sorry to hear that your mother passed away. For all your brothers, (I just know Alex) keep on with your work and I am sure that your mother would be very proud with you guys.
May 25th, 2006 at 7:09 pm
So sorry to hear this Robert. Having just lost my Mom too I’m familiar with the torrent of emotions that this can unleash, and even knowing it’s coming doesn’t make it easier. Take care of yourself and think about the good times with your Mom.
May 25th, 2006 at 7:17 pm
I hope you have moments of calm and strength during this time.
May 25th, 2006 at 7:26 pm
Robert, it is with heavy heart I type this. I hope you can see past the grief to know she is in a better place and watching over your whole family now. Knowing this is going to be a tough time and actually going through it is two different things. Relay on family, your son for strength.
May 25th, 2006 at 7:27 pm
I know you don’t need to be told this…but remember and cherish the good times you had with her and be thankful you had the opportunity to spend time with her before she passed away. My thoughts and consolences are with you and your family Robert.
May 25th, 2006 at 7:29 pm
Robert, Thank you for sharing this experience with us, and for letting us get to know your Mom. You do have a great community behind you, and around you. Our thoughts are with you and your entire family.

It will be very strange and disorienting. Nothing prepares us for the way the world shifts when a parent goes. Deepest sympathy. Take care, Robert.

Sorry for your loss Robert.
My prayers and with you and your family at this difficult time.
Take care.

When my grandmother passed away, I had a delayed reaction, too. I was fine while travelling back down from Maine and staying with my parents: I didn’t lose it until we were leaving the funeral home.

May 25th, 2006 at 8:26 pm
Ach
I know it doesn’t seem like it know, but in the end, it’s better to have a clean end of things, than to spend months waiting for the other shoe to drop. I did that for a year with my dad. You get to hate the phone ringing, because every call is potentially “the call”.
I remember when all the relatives had left, and my mom and I were sitting alone in the house, I said “Don’t take this as mean, but thank friggin’ GOD that’s finally done”
She started laughing, and said, “Oh thank god, I thought I was the only one thinking that. I miss Tom terribly, but I could have done without my last memories of him being what he went through in the hospital” Then she really started laughing hard, and said, “He’s going to be SO angry that he got creamated…he really wanted to have his body used as fertilizer”. Dad had a VERY pragmatic attitude towards death, but he saw a lot of it in Korea.
Death is an end, but not just to life. It’s an end to the death watch we go through when things like this happen. My roommate’s mom died not long ago, but she didn’t have time to even say goodbye. Her mom slipped into a sudden coma, and she had to say goodbye over the phone. It broke her heart, knowing that her aunt was holding the phone up to her ear. She’d have given much to have been able to be there to say goodbye. Ironically, I’d put together a bunch of contributions from her mom, and other friends and family to get her a Gibson SG. didn’t know that it would be the last thing her mom would ever give her or help give her.
And if you make it out to Macworld or the WWDC, I’ll buy the first round, and probably a few more.
May 25th, 2006 at 8:27 pm
Robert, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of loss. Words will not suffice; just know you’re being thought about.
May 25th, 2006 at 8:28 pm

May 25th, 2006 at 8:46 pm
May she rest in peace. I am glad, you were able to spend some time with her. Those moments are priceless.
May 25th, 2006 at 8:46 pm
Robert, I am very sorry that your mom is no longer with you. No doubt this sad event has been very disturbing for you and for the many other people who knew and cared for her. I am thinking of you and them in this time of loss and bereavement. I would keep you in my prayers.
May 25th, 2006 at 8:53 pm
So sorry, Robert. Hang in there.
May 25th, 2006 at 8:59 pm

my deepest condolences to you and your family, Robert.
allow me to offer you this quote from Khalil Gibran’s The Prophet:

And what is to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides…”
godspeed.

My condolences, Robert. It’s never an easy call to get. I had to put my mother in a nursing home and become her guardian. About a year and a half after that both my mother and mother-in-law were diagnosed with terminal illnesses within two months of each other. One morning I called the nurse’s station at the nursing home from work to check on their evaluation of how she was doing. They said she was fine and her order for lunch had just been taken. An hour and a half later they called to tell me that when they’d taken her lunch in to her they’d found that she’d died. That’s what made it a shocker for me. There had been no indication it was that close for her. My mother-in-law outlived her by nine months.
Be well.
May 25th, 2006 at 10:54 pm
go well, and you and Maryam too.
May 25th, 2006 at 11:12 pm
Thank you for sharing this publicly, Robert. I know it has been tough, but you have brought a fresh and wonderful compassion to blogging by wearing your private face publicly.
I know that you have touched so many people in so many ways through this process, and we want to touch you back with our sympathy.
Hugs, our friend. Big hugs.

Having lost my father unexpectedly shortly after graduating from college, I am not sure knowing in advance a few weeks of the inevitable lessens or prepares you for losing a loved one.
Be well, best of luck with the road ahead.
Time does wonders to heal all wounds, but you’ll also be amazed at how much of your mother lives through you when you thing about it.

Hi Robert,
Since meeting you at Microsoft (with Steven Cohen and Marydee in April when Mike and Thiru demonstrated Windows Live Academic Search) I’ve read your blog and about your journey as you come to terms with your mom’s illness. I, too, am travelling down a road of loss as my mum is ill. In plain language, you have caught so many of the feelings I’m going through: shock, fear, grief, anger. For sons, the world is a sadder, lonelier place without the love of our mums. Your posts remind me of the time I need to cherish with mum, and the other loved ones in my life.

Also, my condolences to his brother, Alex, and to all other members of the Scoble family. Nothing is more difficult than to lose someone, and it never gets any easier. [...]
May 26th, 2006 at 2:11 am
I have no words to asauge your grief. As everyone else has said it was good that you could spend the last moments with your mother. there is nothing in this world that will make anyone feel older and be a little bit sadder than a death of a loved one. My thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time.
May 26th, 2006 at 3:06 am
Hi Robert,
I spent Wednesday Evening catching up on you blog, I’m so sorry to hear about your lost.
My own mother (53) died four years ago now, unlike you I was very close to my mother and I know how painfull it was, even thou you were not close someone passing away who is close too you an you may not even know it until they are good. I’m really pleased that you had time to say all the things you wanted.
I didn’t know about the world of blogging when my own mother passed away and I really wished I did because I wanted to do (had the need) what you have done here and share your thoughts and memories with people in the commuinty. My thoughts are with you and your family at this very difficult time.
May 26th, 2006 at 3:46 am
My prayers go out to you and your family.
May 26th, 2006 at 4:04 am

I’m sorry your mom has passed away. Thank you for your courage and compassion. Thank you for posting your stories and giving from your grief to the community. What you’ve written has been woven into my own questions and thoughts, as I’ve been wrestling with some of the same issues this spring. Thanks for describing where you are, what you are feeling, and how your life is changing. Peace and hugs to you, Maryam and your family. Have a safe journey to Montana and back. With thoughts and prayers…
May 26th, 2006 at 8:33 am
Really sorry, Robert. Words don’t help, time helps, but slowly. As a result of your posts, I was thinking about my Dad, who died last year. In a funny way, I talk more to my dad now than I did when he was around (we were close but lived in different cities). Now, I talk to him all the time, in my head, and what I’ve found is that I talk now to the best parts of him — the wise, compassionate, experienced man who loved his family, and much less to the guy who was set in his ways and made attilla the hun look left wing. :) There is a good Anne Lamont book (Plan B) that is a collection of essays, some of which deal with her relationship with her mom, who has passed away.
May 26th, 2006 at 10:27 am
My deepest sympathies. Stay safe.
May 26th, 2006 at 10:34 am

You have my sympathy. In losing a parent there’s not only the anguish, there’s also the feeling of dislocation - of wanting to express your opinion on something and realizing that isn’t possible any longer.
Take care.
May 27th, 2006 at 7:38 pm
No matter how long you prepare for a parent’s death it is never easy. As so many people said to me, time doesn’t heal but does dull the hurt and your memories do help ease the pain. Heartfelt wishes to you and your family.

I was away on a business trip and only learned of this today, Robert. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I know what you are going through and as so many above have said, the loss of a parent hurts like heck. You may begin noticing, however, that although your Mom has passed from this physical world, that connection you have with her, which you felt while you worked in Washington state, remains almost identical. That is the love she has for you, and it will always be there.

A poem for you — one which has helped many move from the pain of death back to the joy of life:
Grieve Not
Grieve not, nor keep my memory fresh
With flowers laid daily on my grave,
I am not there, ‘Tis but the earthly shell,
My soul has gone to Him, who gave.
Hold me not forever dead,
for Death Is but a moment’s passing,
then the Light, And into G-d’s kind hands,
I rest Forever, from my earthly flight.
But if on a summer’s day, you hear a singing bird,
Or see a rose pearled with morning dew,
I bid you, think of me with smiling lips,
For such were mine, each day of Life, with you.

Robert my prayers continue to be with you and your family. May the bond between you have grown even closer as a result of this loss. Life has a way of keeping us grounded as to what really matters at the end of each day.
Remember somone once said. . .”God is in the pause” so take a moment of reflection each day to listen what is being said today.

Mr. Scoble,
Nothing I can type can really add to what’s already been typed. Having lost my dad Nov. 5 after a long on-and-off fight against cancer, I can somewhat understand what you are going through (though, no one truly can).
You and your entire family have my full condolences and well-wishes.

I’m really sorry about your loss… That type of thing is never fun…
A similar thing happened to me a while back.
The good news is that it does get better over time. You just have to let it heal on it’s own.

[...] For example, I was reading Scobelizer yesterday. It's one of the top blogs on WordPress and is kept by Microsoft's Robert Scoble who also wrote Naked Conversations. I decided to read some entries after seeing it referenced several times. In this particular post, he learns that his mother Mom has just died. [...]

[...] In einer funktionierenden Familie teilt man jedoch nicht nur Freud, sondern auch Leid: Die Blogosphere wird auch Zeuge unseres ganz persönlichen Schmerzes. So konnte die gesamte Blogging Community dem Sterben von Robert Scobles Mutter beiwohnen. In seinem viel gelesenen Tech-Blog Scobleizer hat er seinen Gefühlen freien Lauf gelassen und seine Leser konnten mitverfolgen, wann Robert beim Schreiben seiner Posts geweint hat. Und erneut bestätigen die vielen (durchaus prominenten) Kondolenzbekundungen, dass es genau das ist, was die Blogosphere will: Die Aufhebung der Privatssphäre. [...]
