Content: When my friend leaned over to hug me, a smile played on his face: "She is no longer suffering, you should also rejoice for her." His tone was calm as he urged me to accept the loss, as if the coffin by his side, adorned with flowers and lying quietly, wasn't the lifelong partner Phyllis he had shared with for half his life, but rather a relative of mine. I lifted my tear-filled eyes and stared at him in shock. His brown, slightly graying hair was neatly combed, and his neatly pressed light gray suit was paired with a dark red tie, making him appear vibrant. I had expected numbness after grief, a smile even more unpleasant than crying, but instead, I saw genuine warmth in his smile, a smile that was inviting and free of any sorrow.
