Hello I’m sorry for your loss but I would like to read and encouraging scripture with you it comes from 2nd Corinthians chapter 1 verse 3 and 4 and it says praise be to the god of father and our Lord Jesus Christ the father of Tender Mercies and the God of All Comfort who comforts Us in all our trials so that we may be able to confront others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we received from God
