Sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers during this difficult time. Words cannot truly express my sadness for your family. God's Word provides us comfort at times of mourning such as these. Isaiah 25:8 says, "He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces." So not only will God eliminate death, but all the feelings of pain that come with losing a loved one in death will also be a thing of the past. We will truly be able to experience the promise that "death will be no more." (Revelation 21:4) You have the beautiful hope of being reunited with your loved one in a Paradise on earth. (John 5:28,29) My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
