Condolence: I wanted to express my sympathy on the death of Mario. There's such a sense of helplessness when our loved one dies. I'd like to share scriptures that 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 God can give us, "...power beyond what is normal" to go from one day to the next. It 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 talked about this hope in John 5:28, "...all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out". Jesus was referring to the resurrection, that 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". God comforts us through his Word, and he also moves people who care about us, to give words of encouragement that we need to hear. I hope this was of some comfort to you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
