Jesus taught us to pray at Matthew 6:9 & 10 (The Model Prayer) let your will take place as in heaven also on earth. Soon when this prayer becomes a reality, we will never have to suffer such a loss again. May your heart be comforted with this promise and may God grant you inner peace to help you cope with your loss.
