Same same with my father. 🫂 Seriously have a convo with someone. Seriously.

🫂🫂🫂

Lost a brother in law to suicide. He was an engineer. Graduated from Vanderbilt. Make a 35 on ACT. We were close. Bought my first house from him way under what it was worth. Never saw it coming and miss him to this day.

You are such a brave person. Your wife is lucky to have you. As are your children. In the Bitcoin world, you have helped many. But, as you say in your essay, in the end it’s only love that counts. And love happens IRL, not over relays You sure have a great mind, too, as your father probably did. How you see that meaning and suffering are intertwined, and yet say that without having faith, tells me you must be very close to Him, as you are grasping the Truth. There’s no love without suffering. I wish for you that at some point you realize that He was, is, and will be beside you. Even inside you, if you let Him. It’s such an enrichment for one’s life. Mind alone can be cold and cruel, even more so a good one, as yours. It’s like suddenly living life in 3D, after having lived your whole life in 2D. Please continue what you do. Love.

I am sorry to hear that, @Gigi!

Same with my grandfather.

Horrible. I’m so sorry. 💔 Losing a parent itself is devastating; this is so much to bear. This is beautifully written, and may it reach whom it needs to. You honor him well, and it’s good to talk about this. Thank you yourself for still being here. Seriously. 🫂 While being all too familiar with the monster/master (and existential dread), I still agree how incredibly important it is to keep living anyway. Much love 💜

What? That‘s insane to hear. Sorry man.

The grief of such a loss leaves a scar that time cannot erase, but your courage in sharing this pain is a beacon for others. We honor his memory by holding fast to one another through the dark. Stay strong.

Thanks for sharing this. Sorry for your loss. We shouldn't underestimate the money problems. That's one of the main reasons we use bitcoin.

🙏
