I'm so sorry.
After my FiL died a few weeks later I just burst out crying one time cos I knew the horrible domestic abuse he had been enduring was over. ( yes, we intervened but he didn't even think he was abused ) I think it's normal and good to want suffering to be over. Of course, we rather the suffering never happened at all but we can't stop everything.
All too true. And I wish it wasn't, but it is, and that horrible feeling of powerlessness ...
