Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
The first emotion is sadness. Naomi loses her husband, and then lost her sons. In short, her only real family is now gone. The second emotion is despair. Naomi has lost those she loves, but she has also lost her protection, her financial security, her home, etc. Women in Biblical times were not permitted to own property or money. Naomi is at the mercy of the world. She has, quite literally, lost everything. We can all understand her hardship. We have all had times when our world has come crashing down around us. I do not want to give away too much of the story, but this is not the end for Naomi, just as it is not the end for us when we face difficult times. God bless you.
