I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one it seems no matter our race, age , gender , wealth , religion etc we all have lost someone so precious and dear to us. A scripture that has always helped me Ps. 55: 22 Throw all your burdens on God and he will sustain you . Death can truly cause us many anxieties and stress . Always rely on him
