My sincere condolences to the family of the late Mr. Aluotto. Nothing hurts us like losing a loved one. But when we encounter a loss like that, rarely do kind words help us, for nothing replaces their being with us. When I lost someone a year ago the last thing I wanted to hear was “stay strong”. But what really did help and comfort me was to meditate on the wonderful promise Jehovah God makes us in the Bible in Job 14.14,15. There it says “If a man dies, can he live again?I will wait all the days of my compulsory serviceUntil my relief comes. You will call, and I will answer you.You will long for the work of your hands.” Here we can see that God longs to return our loved ones to us in the future. Isn’t that soothing to know? If you have a moment I encourage you to read it also and it provides an immense console. I hope that for now time can help heal the wound until you can be reunited with Dominick in the future again.
