I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing the ones we love is never easy. The Bible assures us that God “is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18)
Knowing that God has both the power and desire to restore life to those we have lost has
always been a great comfort to me and I hope it will be for you too.
(Job 14:13-15; John 5:28,29)
