Passing

My father has passed away overnight. No surprise, we knew it was coming, his 94-year-old frame could take no more.

Just finished a long Zoom meeting where the family were hashing out the funeral arrangements. To my surprise, the restrictions have lifted enough that we can actually have a funeral (20 people only). We're going to use invite-only Zoom to enable non-immediate family, and friends, to join in. (Yay technology)
The actual date of the funeral is going to depend on when brother #2 can get here, and that will depend on what limited transport is available... we shall see.

I'm feeling a bit mentally exhausted right now. And a little shaky.

I understand that very well. There have been many times that I've regretted not being with my mum more before she died in 2013; I've had to focus on the blessing that she was, to me and to others around her. It can be very hard. Do what you can, but do not beat yourself up. Your father doesn't want you to.
