Prayers for Jamie's Mom

Please be in prayer for my mom, Jan, as yesterday her dog, Harley, died unexpectedly in her arms.  My mom is what I lovingly call the "pet whisperer" as she recently owned three dogs.  It is hard enough digesting Harley's untimely death yesterday, but this is the third of her three dogs to die in the last 2 months and my mom is really struggling today.  Her oldest dog, Tasha, was put down in November due to old age, but had lived a happy life for 15 years. Her youngest dog, Rufus, was put down 11 days ago at the age of 4 becasue he had a distended bowl from being unable to digest a rawhide bone properly and his body unable to dump waste, poisoned itself.  My mom was really struggling with the two of the dog's death, but found comfort in knowing she still had Harley to love.  Yesterday, Harley, an 8 year-old german Shepherd, walked out into the driveway, laid down, and slipped slowly into death.  He was not sick, but we believe, died of a broken heart and lonliness. My husband and I buried Harley last night and my mom was beside herself.  She is a little angry with God today.  My mom lives alone and those three dogs were her kids.  Please pray for God's comfort and peace to surround her.  I want her to be able to fully enjoy the birth of Jesus today, though her heart is numb and feels void. 
 
Thank you so much, River family.
