Dear Family, I am truly sorry for your loss. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. To help us navigate through the painful period death brings, God promises to “comforts us in all our tribulation.” (2 Corinthians 1:4) No matter what pressure, anguish, or suffering we may experience, God can give us the necessary courage and strength to cope with the loss of our loved ones. He can fortify us to cope with any sorrow or trouble that life may bring. Such a compassionate God surely deserves our worship and praise.
