Many would agree that death is a greater problem for the living, than for those who have actually passed on. Muslims find solace in the prayer that their loved ones are at peace, in a “better place”, no longer suffering. This is especially true for those who died in a state of innocence, such as children, and the oppressed.
However, we, the owners of hearts that still beat, are left to grieve, to feel the pain that resides deep in our cores; a wound that opens every time we realize the absence of the ones whom we loved.

My uncle (mother's eldest brother) has passed away. He was in his 70s, and had been ill for several years due to heart trouble. I pray that he is at peace now.
I would appreciate it if you would include him in your prayers.
May Allāh forgive him his sins, accept his good deeds, elevate his status, and spare him any punishment in the grave, and the hereafter. May Allāh also grant my family patience in their time of grief; especially my mother, who looked to him as a father figure.
Āmīn thumma āmīn.
