Condolence: I'm very sorry for your loss. Nothing ever prepares us to cope with the emotions that follow the death of a loved one. Time helps a great deal in the grieving process, as does having the proper support. But we also need hope and console, and more often than not we don't know where to turn to for it. Something that helped me a lot when I lost my stepmom back in November was to read Job 14:14,15. If you have a moment to read and mediate on the promise God gives us there, perhaps you will feel comforted too. Again I am very sorry for your loss, and I hope that with time this wound can be soothed and that you may look forward to a brighter future.
