Australia held a National Day of Mourning for the victims and loved ones of the wildfires. As I read what Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said following, I was moved by the depth of loss and suffering our dear friends in Australia have been through from this terrible loss of life and tragedy. To you, together as you mourn for these precious loved ones lost in the wildfires, my prayers and thoughts are with you...... indeed you are not alone in your suffering. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart. Psalm 34:18. He will see you through.

Australians held a national day of mourning Sunday for the victims of wildfires that killed hundreds this month, and survivors were promised the nation would support them in the massive task of rebuilding.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said the hellish blazes of "Black Saturday" on Feb. 7 had tested the nation's character, and the response was courage, compassion and resilience.
"In recent days we have witnessed unspeakable suffering," Rudd said at a mourning ceremony broadcast nationally. "We have lost mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers, we have lost brothers, sisters, sons and daughters, the tiniest of children.
"All these are precious lives. No words can provide solace for grief so personal. But simply know this: You who suffer are not alone," he said. Source
