On April 20, 2026, my neighbor Valentina, whom my mother and I called "Aunt Valya," passed away. She was 85 years old... Lord, I beg you, help me through this heartache, and help Aunt Valya's soul find peace. I knew my neighbor since childhood (over 30 years), and my mother knew her for nearly 60 years. And now I feel as if our apartment building is empty without Aunt Valya; my soul is so lonely and painful. My neighbor had been very ill for the last year; she had a huge "bouquet" of various illnesses and was taking numerous pills to maintain her vital functions after a heart attack. She was under the care of a nurse for about two years, and in the last year of her life, she was unable to stand on her feet and was bedridden. I beg you, Lord, help me overcome this terrible loss. The thought that I'll never be able to talk to Aunt Valya again (hear her voice) or help her order groceries from her phone drives me crazy. My heart aches and cries. Please pray for Aunt Valya, that her soul may find peace, and for all who knew her in life.
