My father passed away 2 nights ago after a long battle with cancer. Looking for prayers from the aces high community so his soul might go to a better place.

I lost mine on Mother's day this year. It was sudden. He played tennis the day he died. Later that night, he had a massive pulmonary embolism.
Getting over it takes time, like everything else. I still catch myself thinking, frequently, oh, this or that is really cool. I'd like to tell my Dad about it...
And, of course, that's no longer possible, as far as I know.
At the same time, there are other things afoot that seem to partially compensate - you just have to live those because it's hard to explain.
Anyway, good luck. I've been there and done it and it's hard but survivable.
For my own part, I try to keep the old man close and I choose not to judge his life by how it ended. By such a standard, no one's life would look good. Death is always ugly.
Instead, I look back on his lifeand can generally feel pretty good about the time we spent together. He and I both understood it was finite anyway.
