As somebody else, said, the only thing that heals the hurt is time.
I find it very hard to deal with death. My dad died nearly 25 years ago and sometimes when he's in a dream and I wake up, and realize he's dead, it still hurts - like being told again he's died.
My mother is 88 and recently got through cancer. Can't visit her because I'm 1,000 miles away and quarantines for travellers.
People who say that 'death is part of life' etc, I know you're trying to console the OP here, but it's not part of life, it's an abomination that shows how cruel and heartless nature is. If twenty years ago we had pumped the money we are spending on Covid (or losing due to lockdowns) on longevity research, we might have conquered aging by now. Even now, without decent funding and with the FDA still not classifying aging as a disease, we are close to being able to rejuvenate the thymus - which would have saved millions of old people from Covid.
