Solution
It is indeed saddening to hear of your father’s sad demise. He led the ship with great courage, despite the difficult journey. Victory is not sweet without his presence. We, as humans, are left helpless before this act of God. My words may not reduce your pain, but I hope that it gives you the strength and courage to face the situation. If you need any help, I will always be there for you. I am sure you will follow your father’s example and make him proud. He will always stay alive in our hearts.
