Oh my. This really strikes close to home.
Moll was an editor and author of two books, “The Art of Dying”
Ironic.
Sorry about your loss...

#1 Sympathy for the widow<br.
#2 Yea for the man. I would rather die out in a National Park enjoying what I love and the beautiful scenery. Sure it sucks to fall 100 ft. but hopefully it was a quick death. I don’t look forward to death (not consciously), but in the woods is how I’d rather go out. I don’t want to be eaten by the bear because then they’d blame the bear and kill him. I don’t want that.
You do not have to “live with grief every day” if you are a Christian who has lost a loved one.
You can look forward to a heavenly reunion with loved ones and continue a meaningful life until the time of that reunion.
King David was inconsolable when he lost his beloved son, Absolom. He would not bathe and would not eat. Then one day he emerged renewed and dressed and said, “My son cannot come back to me but I can go to him.”
That story in the Bible saved me from despair when I had to bury my dear, 13-year-old son, Nathan, who was my best friend. I would have instantly died to take his place but life does not necessarily give us such options.
This mortal life is unfair but the future is never hopeless for those with a faith in God.
