Sorry to hear of the loss. Better days will come, and you will walk away a stronger person after the end of it. Keep your head up

Hang in there; you will get through it. I have been in your shoes more times than I care to remember (best friend, both parents, my wife)(all lost during my 40s), but through it all, I learned to value those things that are most important: GOD, FAMILY, SELF, and FRIENDS.
Even though it was a heck of a time loosing each one of them, I am a better person because of them, before and after.

Deepest condolences, guy. Something I learned as a kid and it still holds today: whether it's a family member or a friend, when you part company for the day, treat them like it's the last time you'll ever see them because it just might be. Happened with my father.
