Life will never be the same for these family members. Their life, what they knew of it, has now forever changed. The happy family get togethers, holidays, birthdays, and summer vacations will NEVER be the same again. My heart breaks for these surviving loved ones, friends, coworkers, and life partners. They will want to figure out a way to turn back time. They will try to do all the “what ifs” and “I should’ve’s.” I wish there was a magic potion I could give them to ease their agonizing pain, their grief, but all I can do is pray. I can give them support, love, and comfort, and ask our Heavenly Father from above to bring them strength that only the Holy Spirit can bring and peace that He alone can send. I know their hearts are shattered, and nothing will ease their hurt, but I want you all to know that we are fiercely praying for you and all the family and loved ones involved with the tragedy. We will be praying for all of you. May you feel His presence, His comfort, and His arms wrapped around you. Please join me in praying and bringing all the families involved some solace in knowing they have people praying for them during these difficult times.

“So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.” John 16:22
