Please accept my condolences for your loss. It was never God’s purpose that mankind should die. The earth was to become a beautiful paradise full of happy people. Death resulted because Adam & Eve disobeyed God and thus, “death spread to all men.” (Romans 5:12) But soon Jesus will fulfill his role as “the resurrection and the life.” (John 11:25, 39-44) He will raise millions from death, with an opportunity to live forever. (John 17:3) Envision the reunions as relatives and friends, once separated by death, hold this dear one close again! Learn more at jw.org (See Bible Teachings).
