I know the pain that lossing a love one can give you. Sometimes it seems almost more then we can take. It helps to go to the Bible in our time of grief. Jehovah said he is near to those who are broken hearted, & those who are crushed in spirit.(Ps.3418) Jesus said I am the vine & my Father is the culvator.(John151) What a great gift we have been givin, to have the hope of seening our loved ones again.
