I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one in death is one of the most difficult things you will ever experience. But the bible provides a comforting thought found at Revelation 21:4 that explains "and he will wipe out every tear from there eyes and death will be no more neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore the former things have passed away." Our loving God Jehovah has promised we will see our loved ones again and he will do away with death. I hope this brings you some cp, fort during this terrible time.
