– How to make amends for our parents, who are not longer with us? 

– Pray for them and give alms. This will be your redemption. Wringing your hands and falling into despair because you have not succeeded in doing something right and in time will not do. Moreover, despair makes us helpless and weakens our hearts. We cannot pray being in despair. We need to keep the peace of our souls, which will help us to pray, while our prayer will help our deceased relatives.
