Demetria,
God's Word gives hope when we feel utterly alone and hopeless. we can take comfort in knowing that God does not allow a trial in our lives that is too great for us to bear. We can also
be assured that death does not conquer those who die in Christ. God is in charge of all things. May he comfort your heart in this time of grief.

Demetria,
I was so sorry to hear about the death of your mother. No words can really relieve your sorrow at this difficult time; but hopefully, just knowing that others are thinking of you and praying for your family will help ease the pain.
