The death of a loved one is the most devastating experience a family can face. The loss may at times seem unbearable, but know that there are those who care, and more importantly, God cares. Psalm 34:18 tells us that God “is close to the brokenhearted.” He “is the God of all comfort”. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4)
