There are situations where you just have to feel it. Don’t power through. It means you cared. Condolences to your family.

Life has a way of handing us situations we can’t control and death is one of them. All the euphemistic phrases in the world combined will not bring them back. I am sorry for your pain at this time.

This is one of those essays that I will keep and shamelessly pass off as my own sometime down the road when the need arises......one of the Percs of being a paid subscriber?

Thank you for this .... and all the best to your family. Sometimes life is just hard ( no dick joke intended)

This is truth on a silver platter.

My firm belief, (after 64 years of existence) is the only way past real pain is to go through it. Not over it, under it, around it…. just through it.

God speed to you and your family.
