I am so very sorry for your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. The Bible tells us to throw our burdens on God and he will sustain us: "Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt YOU in due time; while YOU throw all YOUR anxiety upon him, because he cares for YOU" (1Peter 5:6,7)
