While I never had the opportunity to meet Brenda, we were born only a couple of months apart, in the same city and state. My heart goes out to those she left behind, because I know how difficult it is to lose someone you love, having experienced this myself. What helped me more than anything was knowing our Creator is a loving God and will help us through our most difficult hour as he promises at 1 Cor. 10:13. My prayer is that he will do very even more abundantly for you.

I wanted to express my heartfelt sympathy to Brenda's family. There's such a sense of helplessness when a loved one dies. I'd like to share with you some scriptural thoughts that really helped me. Prayer is so valuable at a time like this, but it's not that prayer simply makes us feel better. 2 Cor. 4:7 says that God can give us,
"...power beyond what is normal" to go from one day to the next. This does not mean that we no longer cry or that we forget, but it means we can recover. The reason we recover is because of our hope. Jesus Christ talked about our hope in John 5:28, "...all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out". Jesus was referring to the resurrection; this is our hope that helps us recover and gives us power to go on. 2 Cor. 1:3 describes our Creator as, "...the God of all comfort". One way that God comforts us is by moving people who care about us to give us words of encouragement that we need to hear. May God (Ps. 83:18) grant you peace and comfort now during this time of sorrow.
