Deaths and holidays

There have been two deaths this holiday season. One, a good friend who's just turned 42 while the other is the mother of my cousin's husband. Both deaths were caused by cancer. Swiftly, the disease took hold of its host and they departed this earth way before their time. I feel sad, utterly sad that there was nothing else their loved ones could do but wait. I feel sad for the men they left behind. One, a father whilst the other, a husband of 60 years. It's hard to let go. But for the deceased to achieve peace of mind, we must let them go peacefully.
