Quoting famous words from the Bible that have helped many people through difficult times, Dolores wrote on her Instagram in Portuguese, "Trust the Lord with all your heart and don't rely on your own understanding...Acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will direct your ways."
On Monday, the Portuguese national team captain and Manchester United scorer announced the death of one of his newborn twins.
"It is with deep sadness that we announce that our infant son has passed away. It is the greatest pain any parent can feel," Ronaldo said in a joint statement with his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez on social media.
"Only the birth of our daughter gives us the strength to live through this moment with some hope and happiness," he explained.
Ronaldo concluded by saying, "We are all devastated by this loss, and we ask for privacy at this very difficult time. Our little boy, you are our angel, we will always love you."
Ronaldo announced last year that he and his girlfriend will have twins, knowing that the Portuguese star has 4 children.
