Just had a call from my daughter Alice whose husband died suddenly in October. She is grief stricken and wants him back. All I can do is comfort her and lift her up in prayer, and hope the Lord will make His presence known and lead her back. She lost her faith when she went to college - time she returned.
The more you love the harder the pain of losing someone; I still cry for David. May the Lord strengthen and comfort her and bring her through this. She is coming for a visit so I'll see her on Sunday after a 9 month absence. Never expected her to be widowed at such a young age. Sad times.
I am so sorry for your family's loss. It's so often the truly good. We lost a friend to a heart attack back in mid-2020 and I still can't believe he's gone sometimes. Truly one of the best people I have ever known. The good news (no pun intended) is that I think it has brought his wife closer to God. I pray for her all of the time, and am praying for you and yours.
Bless you.
