Comic Description:

In the comic, there are two characters: an elderly woman and a younger person, likely a counselor or interviewer. The elderly woman has gray hair styled in a bun and is wearing a purple blouse and a long green skirt. She is sitting on a brown couch, holding her hands together, appearing reflective and somewhat somber.

She says, "Even though I've lost him, I can take comfort in knowing that he died doing what he loved."

The younger person is seated across from her, jotting down notes on a notepad. They are wearing a light green shirt and appear engaged in the conversation.

In the lower part of the comic, there is a newspaper clipping with the headline: "Aviator 'Loved' Crashing Plane Full of Toddlers." The clipping has a bold font and appears somewhat sensationalist.

The overall mood of the comic combines a somber reflection on loss with dark humor evident in the contrast between the woman's sentiment and the newspaper headline.
