Sorry for your loss. The best friend that a bereaved family can have is our Heavenly Father, God. He invites you to throw all your burdens on him and he will sustain you in this time of grief. May you all find comfort as you pour out your heart to him in prayer, because he cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7).
