"Yeeta" weeping may endure for a night but joy commeth in the morning. There are (2) words in Webster's Dictionary (1) is (Empathy) meaning I have no idea what you are going through the other is (Sympathy) Meaning I know just what you are going through. I lost my father too your (Grandfather).
So hold fast to Gods unchanging hands and he will surely strenghten you doing this time of bereavement. Also remember the family is here for you.
