<<What's the point of building a successful business if it will only close the moment you die? Why buy a home when there's no one to pass it to? Once you are stripped of having any kind of legacy how in the world do you do anything?>>

I honor and respect your grief, and the point of view you have shared. But I will tell you that those views are yours, and not necessarily universal. Many people have used exactly that kind of loss or pain to motivate them for the good.
