I’m sorry for your loss. Cherish the many memories of times spent together and may you be comforted by the words in Acts 24:15.
I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one. When someone we love dies, it’s natural to want to see that person again. God promises us that He will comfort us in our trials if we go to him in prayer. 2 Corinthians 1:3 calls him the God of all comfort. I’d like to share with y’all this link that shows 12 steps on coping with grief that is good for sharing. I have personally found this very comforting and I hope y’all do as well. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=102018086&srcid=share
My condolence to the family. Please know that your Heavenly Father is there for you. He provides comfort through his written word. He has promise to do away with sickness and death. Revelation 21:4, God will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. He gives us the hope of a resurrection. John 5:28-29, “ the hour is coming when all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out.” All our loved ones will have the opportunity to live again under much better conditions. You may wish to visit the website Jw.org for more information. May God watch over the family during this difficult time.
I’m so sorry for your recent loss. My deepest condolences to your family. Death of a loved one is never easy to endure, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Continue looking to God and you will always find comfort in him (2 Cor 1:3,4). He will soon destroy the enemy of death (1 Cor 15:26), and He will soon return our loved ones to us through the resurrection (John 5:28,29). Please visit JW.org and search “When Someone You Love Dies”, it helped me through some difficult times and I hope you can find comfort in it also.
