My deepest sympathy to Mr Ben’s family. He lived a long life. Take comfort in knowing that God promises at Acts 24:15: “And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” Soon we will see our loved ones alive again. God will give you strength and courage to cope with your grief.
