My condolences to the family in the loss of your dear loved one. There is nothing more painful in life then losing a loved one in death. Our loving God Jehovah understand how you feel because death was not a part of his original purpose for mankind. He provides comfort from his word the Bible to help cope with the loss. Psalm 94:19 says;”When anxieties overwhelmed me. You (God) comforted and soothed me” And the wonderful promise at John 5:25 says; Most truly I say to you, the hour is coming, and the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God (Jesus), and those who have paid attention will live.
