Funeral
Today I went to the funeral for a former neighbor. The man was 86 years old and had been suffering from the ravages of cancer. I am sad for his family but for him it was a release from the pain. There are times when death is a blessing. My friend is grieving her loss and I will do anything I can to help her. Am I wrong to feel death had lost its sting in this case.

Sorry to hear that Joyce, glad that you can be there to be a comfort.
If he was in such pain then it is a blessing that he is no longer in pain, though so sad for his family.
Cancer is terrible. If we only could eradicate it. No, it's a relief at the end. End of agony and payne.
