How do you think Stevie will handle her mother's death?

[Jondalar]

Her mother was older and I'm sure it wasn't a complete surprise, such as Robin's Death. I'm wondering if she will use it as catalist for songwriting or if it is too deep and sacred to touch. When your mother dies, your life changes in a big way. I wouldn't care if Stevie was 70, her life is going to change in a big way. It seems like last year was huge transition year for her.

I think she will be able to cope with it pretty well.

She lived a very fulfilled life and got to see Stevie release In Your Dreams and that had to of been wonderful for both of them.  I am sure she is still in the grieving process and for very good reasons.  I think it might inspire her to write songs about their relationship.  I am sure they will be beautiful songs indeed.  Will she release them for the world to hear?  Not sure about that... but I am sure she has already written something.  I don't think it will make her start using drugs again or booze up like what happened after Robin, her downward spiral on cocaine and heavy drinking... I think it was known since her father died that she would be next and I am sure she might have already been a bit prepared even though you are never really prepared for it.  My heart still goes out to her and her family.  It is such a sad time... but I see Stevie pulling through... she is strong.

Just to add... I am sure Chris and Stevie are happy they had their mom for as long as they did after Jess passed..  It is strange how people who were married for a lifetime often follow each other in death.  My grandpa died in June of 2000 and my grandma followed him in September of the same year.  She wasn't even ill.  They had been married for almost 60 years and I think she just gave up and felt lost without him.

She seemed to handle the passing of her father okay. But her mother could have helped her a lot with that and now that's gone. So in her family she is now the matriarch.

A mother's death, sadly to say, is different than a father's death. Mother's tend to develop deeper relationships with their children.

Gosh that is so true... its like people married and together that long are so wrapped around one another that when 1/2 is gone the other 1/2 just seems they exist but there hearts not in it.

I've found this to be true. I lost my father Christmas 1990 and my mother May of 2009. Though I love them both so very much, there was a distinct difference. It is also something deeply profound once you've lost both parents. My whole world shifted. I still become overwhelmed with waves of disbelief and sorrow. You never stop being the child who misses mom and dad.

Moms been gone 7 yrs this month (31st).  dad for 15.   It never gets ez does it.  Even when you know someone is dyin, whenit happens its still a shock.  I have had it both ways, neither one was ezyer than the other.   It's like I'm an orphan.  i have noone to ask about my past..did i do this, did i do that....ectra.  Or about their past.  It rocks your world to your deepest soul of souls.........

I think Stevie will be enlightened by her mother's life and write something that will give her a refletion of how she had inspired in her writting that will be uplifting and positive.

She apparently will record an album in tribute to her
