I am so sorry for your loss. It's times like this where we often have no one to turn to, but there is someone who is always willing to listen. At Psalm 55:22, we are told to throw our burdens on God, and he will sustain us. There is hope for our loved ones who have passed away. God promises a resurrection (Acts 24:15). One day our loved ones will be returned to us. I hope that you will rely on God during these hard times.
