I went to a funeral last week, and it was as if I stepped back in time. I looked around, and I remembered the questions that were going through my mind when I lost my husband.

How can people just go on? My loved one is gone, and they are laughing and carrying on as if nothing has happened; why did they say that to me, it was so insensitive; and, why are my friends avoiding me as if I have been cursed?

We need to remember that a lot of people have never experienced a loss. They do not know what to say, how to act and for them, it may seem unreal.

However, you can have the comfort and reassurance that there is one that does understand, Jesus, “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit. Psalm 34:17-18

“Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.” Psalm 55:22
