If death was easier on us ,it would mean we would miss out on all that love. It is hard.Polio and smallpox were not cured over night. Death is not only a huge part of life but a necessary one. It is so hard on the living and I wish it could be easier on us. The facts are there are viruses and always have been that kills us daily. The simple flu killed many every year. I'm not saying throw in the towel but to understand this is nature. We will at some point figure out how to tame Covid as we did the others. It takes time. It will not happen next week but I hope within the next few years.
I'm so glad your daughter made the trip. I hope it is nothing to worry about. I hope your time with each other brings you both lots of joy.
