11 years after my mother's death, I am concerned about my father living alone in the provinces. Every day, I worried about my father's health, but he lived another 7 years before finding someone to care for him. For the past 2-3 years, I felt relieved that he now had a companion who could look after him.
However, I was shocked to learn of his death yesterday. He became ill while they were supposed to be at a senior citizens' gathering, and he collapsed and died as a result. There were no signs that this would happen because yesterday was just another day for them. I am sad that this had to happen, but I am relieved that he died quickly and without the complications of surviving and suffering from it all.

All of this came as a shock to those of us who loved him. This had a significant impact on his partner because she was present when it occurred. It was just an ordinary day for them, but things started to happen so quickly that they were caught off guard.

@Hannihar, knowing his partner comes from a large family that will take care of her, I am sure she will be alright. She gave my father a few happy and contented years before he eventually departed us for good, and for that I am incredibly grateful. I regret that their brief relationship ended after only a short while.

I feel for you and hope that you will make it through this difficult time. Your father at least didn't suffer a long lingering illness. May he rest in peace.

I am very sorry you lost your father. It doesn't matter how old we get, we still miss them when they pass away. I hope you have a lot of good memories of him. I know it's hard, I still miss mine and he has been gone a long time.

You are right in a way. Yes, the pain will eventually fade a bit. But you will always and forever miss and remember him.
