very very sorry for your loss.

My mom passed in June 2023. My wife's mom passed in October 2023...just three weeks after a pancreatic cancer diagnosis. Then another relative within a month. And then my wife's sister-in-law got diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer.

What a year!

Was not sure how I survived it.

I just have been taking it very very very easy and slow. Taking tasks away from me. Just trying to stay calm and as relaxed as I can.

There's been a lot of crying, I can tell you that.

But, like you, I also have faith. I believe God is merciful and He gives us experiences for our learning and benefit. And I believe that when our loved ones pass, they pass into profound peace and happiness.

So, that helps me.

I am quite ill. I have been told that I could pass away at any time. But I was told that 12 years ago, so I don't know what to believe. It has been quite scary at times. I guess that being on the edge has taught me a lot about faith. I never thought I could develop faith at this kind of level. Maybe that is the lesson that I am learning. To have faith through the most difficult experiences.

Again, so very sorry for your loss.

Take care now.
