Comfort and Hope

This past weekend two friends of mine from high school had a devastating experience. One friend is married to the brother of my other friend. This weekend he took his life. I cannot imagine how difficult this is for them. I have not seen or talked to either of them for a few years so I don't know what they all must be going through. When someone goes this way, how do you feel comfort? It's hard enough for me, who has not been in touch with any of them, to feel comfort, but I know it is there if we will ask for it. There are so many questions in life that we do not have answers to, nor will we in this life. We must have Faith. Our Heavenly Father loves us so much that he sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to suffer for our sins and die, but Jesus Christ was also resurrected so that we might live again and we need to remember that. We will all live again and we can live as families forever. No matter how many times in life we lose our way, we can come back. We have a merciful, loving Heavenly Father who wantes us all to come back and will always be there to help us NO MATTER what!! What greater comfort is there than that? What greater hope is there than that? I hope and pray more then anything that the friends and family of him may let themselves feel the comfort and hope from our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I am so sorry that any of them had to experience this kind of pain.
