I can relate Leon. My father died of cancer a few weeks ago, and I sat there for a few days staring at the ceiling after the funeral.
I thought about slowing my astronomical pursuits down, and realised that the event, while the saddest thing for myself and family, should not affect my whole life if I could avoid it. Time heals, and I take solace in that.
I'm chilling for a while, and although the tragedy does weigh me down, I know that I'm in this game for a reason - I love it. It keeps me sane.
I'm sorry about your loss Leon - I hope that it doesn't consume you.
