Like many I am stunned at the news today that Luke Sandoe died this morning. I do not know any details about his death, other than he was found dead. My experiences with Luke were all warm and friendly. I met Luke formally last year backstage at the Olympia, and then later had him on my podcast in December. I found out that we both had similar interests in comics, movies and fantasy! We had a fun couple hours on my show mostly talking about comics and movies but I intended to visit him and share a pint when I eventually made my way to the UK for fun this year! My love goes out to Luke’s family and children, I know they will miss their daddy. Thank you for your valuable contribution Luke, you will be missed.

“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.” -unknown Irish Headstone
We all come and go in this life. We do not know the exactness of when we leave this life, but we all depart. How can we comfort ourselves and others when we feel the pangs of sadness thumping our hearts. We can remember what used to be. We can remind ourselves of the good that is now, but if we look into an unfulfilled future and only see what we have lost then we are the cause of our own sadness. If we could see our loved ones who have passed on from this life gathered together they would most likely be waving at us as if to say: “There is no leaving. We are always here.” So how do we approach loss? We approach loss with love. We ought to love for the reason of loving.
“Love only for the sake of love – with no agenda, no expectations, and no judgments.
Where there is love, there is no separation.”
― Aarti Raheja
The only loss we ever really experience is through our own self-induced separation from who we are and our purpose of joy. I am love. I am joy. I am so very good.
