My husband and I are very sorry for your loss, we know this is a very difficult time, but one thing that helped us in the past was to know that God is always there to answer our prayers and He provides help in so many ways and at the right time. Philippians 4:13 says "For all things I have the strength by virtue of him who imparts power to me."
