That always sucks BA I've lost many family and friends over the years to the Big C, even when the well meanin' peole say, "At least they're not sufferin anymore" it still sucks caues your left behind.
One thing made me feel a little better when my Brother inlaw lost his battle some idiot said it was God's will and his daughter broke down and started yellin' at God, this woman went on to say you can't be angry at God for what he did, the priest who was doin' some blessin's came ove and grabbed the girls hand in his and told her, "It's alright to be angry at god for what he did, but you shouldn't abandoned your faith or belief in God'
But just like God he forgives us for indiscretions, so we also need to fogive and move on.
Smoke and prayers to all in need.
