This is certainly a time of need. You are experiencing loss that you cannot name and will soon try to fill a void which seems beyond your capacity. In our most difficult times of need Jesus can be most present. All we must do is draw near to Him.
I ask God's blessing upon you. May His peace bring you wholeness. May His word bring you comfort. May you find grace and receive mercy as you draw near to Him.
