In this month's Ensign (either April or May 2006), there is a moving account of Ann Roquemore, whose father passed away while she was serving her mission. When she heard the news, her "sobs came in painful gasps," her seeking consolation in prayer resulted in a revelation of great power. She said:
After a day of confusing stupor, after a heart breaking conversation with my mother, amid all the agony I was suffering, the moment I spoke the words ‘Dear Heavenly Father,' peace enveloped me, my pounding heart stilled, my breathing calmed. In that instant, I knew that Father in Heaven loved me. On a lonely planet in a vast galaxy among countless other galaxies, a tiny, suffering voice was heard and solace was given."
