Hola amiga. Esos son los momentos que no quisiéramos vivir, despedir a nuestros seres queridos es algo que nunca esperamos, mucho dolor e incertidumbre. Que descanse en paz y mucha fortaleza para tu amiga.

Amen friend 🙏

Nunca es fácil aceptar la pérdida de un ser querido, y mucho menos si era muy allegado.

Confío que En Dios encuentren la fortaleza que tanto necesitan, porque al final, nadie está preparado para afrontar una perdida repentina.
