humlan, I'm so sorry for your loss. This is so sad, especially on the heels of other sad events. May you feel God's love pouring over you and comforting you during this sad time.

When Mom died, a friend wrote a very brief message in her card.

"God comforts those who mourn."

It became my mantra. It was simple to remember and call upon. When I began to feel sad, I remembered her words and had confidence that God would comfort me. It redirected my thoughts often. It was extremely helpful. I pray it does the same for you dear humlan.
