I am so sorry for your loss. These words in The book of Isaiah have always given me comfort. I hope they can help you in this time of distress. "Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God. I will fortify you, yes, I will help you, I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness.
