You gotta be strong, only God lasts forever
A literal way of putting it is:
You gotta be strong, only God lasts forever
Or
Be strong, only God lasts forever
However there are more usual ways to give condolences such as:
They are in a better place now
They are at peace now
I know how you feel
It's part of God's plan
etc
You gotta be strong, only God lasts forever
Or
Be strong, only God lasts forever
However there are more usual ways to give condolences such as:
They are in a better place now
They are at peace now
I know how you feel
It's part of God's plan
etc

: my deepest condolences is good but please never offer condolences by saying pull yourself together it is neither tactful nor sympathetic and probably pretty insulting
