Hello Church

My best friend Diana unexpectedly died of pulmonary embolism. Her body was found one day before her birthday where I and her closest were supposed to come together.
Her funeral will be next week Thursday and as my pastor wont havr the time to take over the funeral service, I will.
Its a very challenging time and I have never done this. My pastor and Diana's sister Sabrina who is also a close friend of mine will get together this thursday to figure out my speech. I have been Sabrinas eyes and handling all the official stuff because she turned blind shortly after her sisters passing.
It has been quite difficult for me to deal with all of this. My mind still cant understand Diana not being among us anymore. Yet I need to have a sound mind and hold this service.
Please pray for Gods wisdom and strenght that i dont break down under all this pressure and find the right words at the right time. I try to keep everything together but yea..its hard. Very hard

Oh Demi I am so sorry to hear this and my heart hurts.
Especially knowing your journey after reading your testimony and also reading about your dear friend Sabrina.
Big big hugs to you and may God guide you, protect you and surround you with His angels during this time.
And don’t worry, about the speech.
The right words will come from your heart .
Big big hug to you.
I wish I could do more for you but I will keep you in my prayers and I will ask the people at different churches to pray for you and ALL your loved ones.

Jesus wept.
