Death of a loved one can arouse deep questions about faith and hope. In this passage, the author expresses poignant pain, wondering if it is still possible to
repair which is lost. However, the Word of God reminds us that even in suffering, we can find peace by turning towards him, as emphasizes
2 Samuel 12:23 , where the hope of finding those we loved is affirmed. Faith invites us to move forward, to pray and to keep confidence in the eternal love of God.
