I am so sorry, Consuela. Holding you in my heart and sending wishes for peace and strength in the time to come.
And he's not in pain, not upset, not afraid or angry.
And has been surrounded by love in his life and at this time. It is always too soon, but it sounds like as peaceful a passing as any of us could hope for.
I'm sorry, Consuela. Much peace to you and your family.
It sucks. Dad's a great human being, a role model for an honest and ethical life, and we will all miss him. But I also don't feel like we got cheated out of time with him. And he's not in pain, not upset, not afraid or angry. It could be so much worse.
That sounds like a good place to be in, all things considered. Thinking of you all.
Holding you and your family in my heart, Consuela.
My condolences, Consuela.
At church the other day, I saw a woman whose husband died this year was having a hard time, so I went to go say something to her, and she was like, "this time of year must be hard for you, too...." and literally all I could come up with was "time passes." Couldn't bring myself to say things get better, or easier, with time, but it does keep going.
It is both the best and the worst that time keeps passing no matter what.
