Widow Looking for Peace in All the Wrong Places

Samai and her husband were blessed with three sons and two daughters. Her two daughters were well married; Samai was in good health; her needs were met; and life went along smoothly.

That was before tragedy struck and her world spiraled out of control. What little peace she held was stripped from her grasp.

Tragedy’s Devastating Blow

One evening, the family received devastating news that Samai’s eldest son had been killed instantly in an accident. The loss left the family reeling in deep grief.
