We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a loved one isn't easy. Our loving God invites us at 1 Peter 5:7 " to throw all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you." May God give you courage and strength to sustain you in the days ahead. At John 5:28,29 Jesus spoke about a resurrection for our loved ones. These verses helped me to cope with the death of my brother and father may it do the same for you and your family.
