I'm so sorry to hear about this news. Having lost my own mother almost 13 years ago, it is hard thing to have to go through. My thoughts and prayers are with their family.

I am sad for them...  It's one of the truly hard parts of life, to be separated from those we love. 

The Lord heals all wounds, but that doesn't mean the healing process is easy or fun. While all life ends in death, that doesn't make it any easier to accept when it does come. But with time, we can be with our loved ones again.

Bok, Coco, and Dilbert, my deepest condolences and empathy for your loss.

No matter how well prepared one is, no matter how well one understands and believes the Gospel, it does not remove the pain and grief when one loses a close loved one. That is simply part of the mortal experience. Doesn't matter if it is a sudden or anticipated seperation.

There will never be a day that you will not think of her, but do believe me that with The Lord's strength, it will become less and less painful (as in missing her) to the point your memory of her and anticipation of reunion will become sweet indeed.

My thoughts are with you.
