I know what a difficult time this must be for your family. In times like this remember how God can give us comfort as says 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation”. Please know that God feels your pain too and soon death will be no more. Although I don’t know your family I was touched by your loss and felt compelled to try to offer you some comfort at this very trying time.
