    I am sorry for your loss . The grief that you feel from losing a loved one is one of the most difficult things you may have to go through, but take comfort in knowing that your Heavenly Father sees your pain. (Jeremiah 29:11) but promises you a hope for the future. Medittating on this hope can help you cope during this difficult time. (Revelation 21:3 &4)
