I can't say that I know how you feel at this time and I don't know your pain, but the Bible recommends, " Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with people who weep “,so until your tears turn into joy, my family and I extend our deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear loved one. (Romans 12:15)  Soon Jesus will fulfill God's will on earth, by raising up and restoring back to life, those who are now sleeping in death. (John 5:28, 29) They will have the wonderful prospect of living forever on the restored Paradise earth, where sickness and death will no longer plague mankind. (Luke 23:43; Rev.21:3, 4) Until that blessing unfolds and you share in the reunion with your deceased loved one; may Jehovah God grant your family peace and comfort, during this grievous time.-Isaiah 66:13.
