別れはつらいもの

This is a sad event, very sad. Losing a beloved family member is an incredibly sad occurrence. As long as we live, separations, sooner or later, are inevitable. We understand this, but sadness is still sadness. Yesterday everything seemed fine, and the suddenness of the departure, along with the lack of mental preparation, makes it even more painful. If the person had lived what could be considered a long life, would the degree of sadness be different? Regardless, sadness is sadness. At times like this, all we can do is cry. It may be selfish, but I hope that in another life, we could meet again.
