So sorry for the loss. Also I don’t understand why people get upset over missed episodes, they obviously like the show (or why not simply unfollow) please do you for now come back when ready.
I love the series, and am so shocked that such things even occur because of missed deadlines (the show is great, and stories well adapted).
Not all listeners are impatient:)
