Visiting my ex-boss

Yesterday, I paid my last visit to the late wife of an ex-boss who lost the battle against cancer. It had been exactly 3 years that she was fighting the battle with the family. My boss, a very kind soul, has nevertheless been a very supportive hubby and father. He has been the chef in the family since they got married. I must say men nowadays are very hands-on because they babysit the children and do house chores. While it is very disheartening to learn about the sad news, my boss got retired in October last year, it is, perhaps, also a relief for the family that she no longer had to suffer the pain. My boss, instead, asked why we looked so gloomy. Words fall short of sorrow it is for the family to lose their loved one, I'm mourning the pain with them.
