Hello, I feel your pain. My dad died just this past August. We had a quiet grave side memorial for him but I still miss him every day. At 13 he read me the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and by the end these 18 years later I probably knew it and was a bigger dork for it than he was.

In the Restaurant at the End of the Universe we have the Ruler of the Universe. He turns out to be an old man who just wants to be left alone with his cat and is not sure if anything actually exists, but he is the most peaceful character.

I hope whatever passage you read gives you peace and if you want to talk then stick this fish in your ear and send me a message. Life is complicated. Grieving is difficult.
