Please accept our families sincerest condolences in the loss of your loved one Psalms 147:3 says " He Heals the brokenhearted ones & he binds up their wounds ." We need comfort in many areas of life one of the greatest causes of grief is the loss of the loved one in death, especially a beloved marriage mate or a child.. In times of distress we may need comfort that soothes our heart, mind, emotions, and both our physical and spiritual health ... God's word acknowledges that our heart can be broken & crushed. Even in severe situations God can bring relief to a stricken heart if we pray to him in full faith.
