May your heart heal in time. As you said, sometimes they are in a better place free of pain and suffering. The cycles of life are hard. some are inevitable, some unplanned.
I know what you mean, sometimes it's the only comforting thought you have.But I know they are both free of pain. And at peace.
It always gives me a feeling of relief when the suffering subsides. We are on this big rock for a finite time. It seems like an eternity while we are here; but it is just a grain of sand in the hourglass of our history. I am deeply sorry for your loss, but I accept life as I accept death. My only hope is that your parents lived life to its its fullest and left with no regrets. As such I hope we all live life and depart without regret. My next pour is to your father, may he rest in piece.Please say a prayer for my father. He passed away yesterday afternoon . He was 88 years old. Within a little over a year I lost both my parents. But I know they are both free of pain. And at peace.
