I am so very sorry for your loss! Please find comfort from a scripture I’m sure you have read several times before but is personal to you now.
“And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4) Jw.org

Dear Carm,
I know how much you love Don and how you cared for him. it’s one step at a time.
I know he is in a better place, free of pain. I will ask my boys to show him the ropes and I’m
sure we will be with the ones we love so much someday. May the angels escort Don to paradise.
Love, Mary Slattery
