The sudden loss of someone healthy is so shocking. I'm sorry he is no longer with you.

I understand how hard it is when you remember a loved one and realize it has been years since they were with you. My father died when I was 13...and now that I do the math, I realize that it has been 20 years. I sometimes think about what he has missed since then...all the holidays and milestones...and then I remember that he is still with me. Our loved ones don't stop caring about us when they're gone, just like we don't stop caring about them. So I try to remember that when the loss feels sharp.
