over my 42 years in my aviation journey, I have had many sad moments where people have departed to a greater place, people that are greatly missed by many, the pain felt is deep, the only way that I have managed to cope is personal knowledge of falling from 85 ft to the ground, that of which I am grateful I survived, without going into detail I will say that during the fall I had no fear but total peace, everything goes into slow motion, therefor it is with my experience that falling into the void holds no fear, I can only hope that this gives some comfort to anyone that has lost a loved one in this way, I no it is hard to comprehend unless one experences this, but I can with experience asure you there is no fear or pain.x
