Hey man, keeping your words in mind today. That's a tough go... goddamn. Thanks so much for the reminder to appreciate what we all have - life is so fragile. She was a lucky mom to have a kid who cares so much about her. I'm so humbled that you'd share this with us - I feel like I speak for all guardians in saying that we're here for you.

As the sun starts dipping behind the Traveler like a solar eclipse the sky erupts into a soft red, orange, purple hue. The Tower is busy with the bustle of Guardians and Tower Personnel. In the distance a soft boom echo’s the familiar sound of a Guardian ship dropping in from orbit. A Valkyrie-O5X comes into view. This ship does not follow the same flight pattern as the other ships approaching the hanger. The Tower occupants look up and watch as the Valkyrie increases speed and engages a combat drop maneuver. The scream of the engines and external dampeners engaging is deafening as the Valkyrie slows from sonic, to sub sonic. The Valkyrie banks sharply over the courtyard of the Tower and its nose pulls up slightly. Those in the courtyard can see the com-trails spooling from the tips of the wings and the crafts nose. The craft drops within feet of the courtyard ground, there is a loud crackling hiss between the belly of the Valkyrie and the ground as a Warlock Guardian shimmers into view, hovering slightly as his body composes into view. Within a second the Warlock gracefully drops to the ground as the Valkyrie banks and its engines scream as it accelerates up into the sky. Those in the tower can see that this Guardian is a seasoned Guardian. He holds out his hand as his Ghost materializes into view. The Guardian’s Ghost is incased in a Frontier Shell that shifts and moves. The Guardian nods to his Ghost. It darts around scanning the columns the flank the stair case to the mid-level of the tower. It stops at a point of the right column and marks a spot. “Here…” it says. The Guardian body erupts in flame has he casts Solar Grenades into the spot. Rock and Metal can be seen melting together. The Guardian keeps casting Solar Grenades into the spot and throws one more just as the flames that engulfed his body fade. Breathing heavily as steam rises from the Guardian’s armor, the Guardian waits till the molten rock and metal cools enough and he reaches behind his back as his armor pushes a Gjallarhorn up into his hand. He then takes the Gjallarhorn and pushes it into the cooling rock and metal, he reaches to his back waist as his armor pushes a plaque into his hand; and the Guardian does the same with the plaque as he did with the Gjallarhorn, offsetting it slightly. Slowly the rock and metal cools around the Gjallarhorn and plaque encasing parts of them in a makeshift memorial. The Guardian kneels to one knee with his arm resting on his knee, he slowly bows his head and remains in that position for a long time, as his Ghost hovers over his right shoulder and tilts forward slightly. Slowly the Guardian rises and takes a step back. He opens his hand and his Ghost hovers over it and within a few moments the Ghost and the Guardian shimmer from view. There is a gust of wind that blows the leaves around where the Guardian once stood. As the fading sun moves from behind the Traveler a beam of light hits the plaque. The group of onlookers who gathered in front of the makeshift memorial read the words on the plaque. “In Memory of the Unknown Guardian’s who have fallen IRL. Know that your family IRL Loves you, your Creator Loves you, I Love you. A part of you will live on within our hearts and memories. Your Family and my Pack will forever remember you and your Light. May your Light continue to be our beacon and guide us from the darkness. You will be missed, but never forgotten. Guardian Down….”

I'm sorry for your loss, but this probably isn't the best place to post it

Hello Guardian, errors can be in my words, because I use a translator, but I could not pass such a post. I'm very sorry about what happened, but it happens, just like in the game, such as the Trials of Osiris all your allies are dead, but it is the ninth game, and the fourth round, I know you think that all is lost, and you lose, but you should not have give up, you have to fight, that would be their death was not in vain, do not live in order that happen, so what happens live, look only forward, your allies believe in you and they feel the same as you, so you have to win. All life is a game, but some things are happening in the present and can not be returned.

God bless man
