I am so sorry on the loss of Duncan. Death can make it difficult to carry on as usual. Perhaps this will help. At Psalm 56:8, David pleaded to God "Do put my tears in your skin bottle. Are they not in your book?" Like David I know that God is aware of your pain and whatever you are going through emotionally. Let him help you, he knows what you need. "And you will certainly call me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you." Jeremiah 29:12 ,
