My condolences to the family. This is a very difficult time for you. Death is an enemy to us all. The loss of a loved one causes such pain, that seems unbearable, yet, we can gain strength thru GOD's word. Psalms 83:18, GOD promises a resurrection of the dead. Acts 24:15. We will see our loved one live again in a paradise earth, where pain & death will be no more. Rev.21:3-5; Psalms 37:11,29. For more comfort & support, go on-line to jw.org.
