I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. You can be assured that God feel your pain. You can call to God in your distress and he answered you. (Psalms 120:1) May you trust in God at all times and pour out your heart before him. He will hear your cry for help and give you comfort. Your family and friends have my deepest condolences.
