My condolences to you and your family on the loss of your dear loved one. Losing a loved one is a distressful and painful time. We have assurance from God's word at Psalm 34:18 that he is "near to those broken-hearted and he saves those crushed in spirit". It is my hope that your family will find the strength to endure during the days ahead.

I'm sorry for your families loss. I wanted to share a comforting scripture that helped me when I lost my father. Revelation 21:4 tells " He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." A day when we are happy and healthy. I hope this scripture gives hope to your family. Jehovah God tells us in 1 peter 5:7 " because he cares for you."
