That may be so...but for me on a personal level I was able to better understand the death of my father....who passed away after with a cancer....not diagnosed till much too late by the British NHS ...and I was unable to visit with him in his final days.
Sorry for your loss. Why were you unable to visit him?
Sorry to hear that my friend, n all sincerity may Almighty God and His precious Word bring encouragement to you and your family. 2 Cor. 1:3-4
