Dear Lighson:
My condolances to you Lightson.
Yes, to loose a close relative is painfull. But it is part of the thing we call life, it comes with happiness and joy, but also with pain and deep sadnses. It is because life is only short, that we have to make something of our lives. That we should not engage in something meaningless, but something with a purpose.
So that even when we are gone, people still have memoires about us, and how we conducted our lives.
Life is not eternal. This fact is the same to any of us.
I have sometimes wondered what 'eternal' life would mean. But I think the fact that one would not never die, as in eternity, takes out the beauty and value of life. We would conduct our lives much different if life was eternal. In fact, since we would have eternal life, what would it care to us what we would do, or not do. Life would loose it's meaning in such cases.
The bitterness and sadness of us, when we face that a closed one has gone, sometimes takes form in that we would want that even after we are gone, life continues in an 'afterworld'.
It is the idea we form ourselves, to give ourselves some comfort and hope. It is because we want that, that the person who had died, would still be living and be with us. To reduce our pain and sadness.
Life and death belong together. There is no life without death. But even so, for us life continues. We need to take care of ourselves, and take decissions ourselves of how we conduct our lives. The knowledge that a person we have loved so much, will not be with us any more, and has gone forever will induce great pain. Irrefutable and undeniable.
After all we are just humans and don't live for eternity.
I wish you and your family good luck and strength for overcoming this great pain and sadness the death of your father cas caused you.
Sincerely,
Rob

Remember as long as you honor your fathers life and think about the beautifull memories you had together with him, he will not be completely gone.
