I lost my mother a few years ago to an abrupt cancer diagnosis. Just being by her side every hour I could was all that mattered in the end. I went to work, kept eating and being present for my wife etc to honor the life and love that she gave me even though it all felt impossibly difficult. I think of her every day but somehow have no real regrets about her passing.

Chapter 96 in Ministry for the Future oddly summarizes and validates my experience almost perfectly, for whatever that's worth.

We all don't really know eachother but HN is a community and clearly its here for you.
