It is hard to imagine that it has been some thirty days since the petirah of Reb Shlomo Yehuda ben Reb Avrohom Yaakov Gross z”l. The pain is still so fresh. Disbelief and shock are still in the hearts of so many and the time for introspection is only slowly, so very slowly, beginning to settle in. For the immediate mishpacha, Shlomie’s wife of thirty years, his beloved children, his mother and mother-in-law and his siblings, there is hardly any nechomah that we can offer that would suffice at this time. As Rav Brudny pointed out during the shivah, the bechiyos, the crying, by immediate family members has not even begun, and there will a time for that soon, but not quite just yet. It is still such a fresh and open wound which will require much healing time before even being remotely consolable.
