Shiva

Posted on August 15, 2021 by Victor Rosenthal

I am sitting shiva for my daughter Aviva, who has died of Covid. She had a very difficult and unhappy life despite being brilliant and talented; indeed, to a great extent because of that.

I will return to writing next week.

    Vic, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your daughter, Aviva. I wish you and all your family comfort and blessing in this difficult time. Some of us struggle, despite our talents and brilliance, and that is our burden and challenge in this life. God’s will, some might say. Take comfort in her memory. I wish you strength as you move through this.

    Victor,
    So sorry to hear about your daughter. My deepest condolences.
    One of the saddest things in life is for a parent to precede a child.
    May her memory be for a blessing.

    My mistake.
    I meant for a child to precede a parent.
