Asmongold's mom passed away.

Losing a parent is such a crushing and unique pain. You lose your: mentor, best friend, guardian, and counselor all in one single moment. All the things you wished you had said and done drop on your shoulders with such weight that you stagger around for days in a daze.

Love your parents every day when you see them, tell them how much they mean to you.

I would if I had the chance again.

I dont know why people are getting so mad that condolences are being put here.
It is not insensitive because everyone grieves differently. I for one would have found comfort in a condolence thread after experiencing so many losses. Doesn't mean everyone does for others it would be too much but this is far from being insensitive.
It's not about either making one death more important than another. Death is equally sad. But Asmon gave people joy and in that people will relate. It's not only about condolences but reflecting on our own experiences and just having that calm moment to reflect inward and express their sadness in peace for Asmon.
If you have a problem this is NOT the thread to post in. This news has probably triggered other people's experiences and feelings. Just leave people in peace.

Don't virtue signal on a forum and make memorials that do nothing but show how 'group sad' you are.

I'm sorry to tell you but this is a losing battle.

I'm not super old, but I still can't believe I would live in a time where posting a condolence or a short memorial for anyone would be considered attention seeking. It's so sad to see people assume the worst in others, whatever "side" you're on.

[Jettinson]

I feel really bad due to the fact that the first thing Yoshi said to Asmon was about the mother in the interview and wishing all well.

I am not exactly a fan of Asmon but I have witnessed many close friends losing their mothers and hits hard so I really wish him all good and to stay strong.

[Arazehl]

You completely misunderstood what I meant, not surprising.

I'm saying you're not sincere, and no one here is, because if he wasn't known you wouldn't give a d**n.

Asmon plays this game, not his mom. If something happened to Asmon, the topics and memorials would make sense, he was a part of the community, just as the person that said FC mates and friends get memorials. But his mom? Give a card, give your condolences, but the memorials are dumb. She did not play this game, she was not part of the community. Making a memorial in a game she did not play is for you, not her.

By making a memorial or topic outside of talking to him, himself. You are literally doing this for attention and virtue signaling. It is fake. It is insincere. It is a sick 'hey I'm sad for him, everyone else be sad for him to show how much we suck up to him as fans on this forum.'

Step back and ask yourself why in the wanting to comfort someone you feel the need to post it on a forum that his mother does not frequent? Wrong course of action to show that you care.

Again, you don't know me or the reason I do relate to Asmon's mom and all mothers. My sincerity is real! I'm closer to Asmon mom's age than Asmongold's age. I'm a mother who has a daughter who not only just plays ffxiv, but played many other video games together over the years. I was the one who put the controller into her hands at a the tender age of 4. My daughter is now 35 years old. Want me to step back and ask myself why I want to comfort here and now?
Well because some day it will be my time to die and I will be leaving her behind in this world. Sooner rather than later. My only daughter will grieve terribly when I am gone, but she'll have these memories of us playing together. How in game, I wasn't just her mom, but a second mom to many in our FC that I've been leader of for over 5 years. I know his pain and I will be causing that pain for my own daughter in the future. I'm at the age and I think more and more of my own death. So yeah this effects me to hear he lost his mom who he play WoW with over the years. So yeah I can relate a great deal.
You on the other hand are so young to foolishly come on here and post to stir up attention only. Trying to speak for me and others when you are so clueless. Again it makes me feel bad for you and I don't know you personally either. The only thing I know is you have a lot of growing left to do. That's the impression you left behind.

Gatekeeping trauma and how to respond to it is never a good idea.

Condolences, losing a family member is always heart breaking, losing a parent? I'm tearing up just remembering how I felt.

Mine died last year june of 2020. Only immediate family allowed in the hospital room 1 at a time. Though she didnt have covid, the hospital still had heavy restrictions. Losing your mom sucks bad for most people.

I didn't lose my mom but I lost my dad around the same time. He died in July.

Losing someone you love is hard, my condolences to you asmongold, Veilfire, DragonAskani and anyone who lost someone very special in their life
