My condolences to the Shumilo family on the loss of your loved one. When we lose someone we love in death, the pain, grief, and feelings of helplessness can seem unbearable. But remember that the Father of tender mercies and God of all comfort is with you to comfort and strengthen you through this very difficult time. 2 Corinthians 13-4
