Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your dear loved one Mr. Michael Ali. I well understand the depth of your pain as I too lost a loved one a while ago. But God has given us a hope, at 1Peter 5:7 it says, Throw your anxiety on him (God) because he cares for you. So we have a helper who is more than willing and able to take us through this crisis. Psalm 37:5 tells us, Rely on him (God) and he will act in our behalf. Our God is on standby, ready and willing to help us if we let him. Go to God in prayer, tell him what is in your heart, he listens. Philippians 4:6 says, Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with Thanksgiving, let your petition be made known to God. Talk to God, he understands. Visit our website at www.jw.org and read the articles available on this topic and many others and these along with your Bible will help you deal with grief and pain. Continue to read your Bible daily and meditate on the things you are reading and pray as often as you can, ask God for the strength and courage you all will need to cope with this tragedy. God will take you through this, call on him. Please take care of yourself and those around you.
