I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am including a link to a poem that brought me comfort and some perspective when my father passed away much to young.

The gender spoken of in the poem is related to a female but the sentiment is certainly gender neutral. The first two lines especially meant a lot to me - and still do. They and the rest of the poem reminded me that though I could not control the circumstances around my father's passing, I could control how I remembered him and how I chose to deal with his loss.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in what I know is a challenging time.
It is wonderful! I've already shared it with my immediate family. Thank you.
