I have experienced a rather sudden death in my family. I do know that death is part of life and in this case, the departed was along in years and ready for this transition.

I meditate on this but still find pain and tears. Being far from being enlightened I know this will occur but I want to be strong for the family. AT the same time, if I deny my feelings, I fear it will just erupt later. DOes anyone have any thoughts or experiences that might help us through his event?

Thanks and Peace to all beings,
Jeff
