John and James;
I am sorry to hear of the passing of your father. I can only encourage you to keep your head up and always trust in God. One thing that has always helped me through tough times is Psalms 18 verse 2 ‘The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust’ Psalms 62 verse 7-8 ‘In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.’ ‘Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah’
