I am sorry for your lost. May you find comfort in God’s Word the Bible. At John 11:25 Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life; And have the privilege of living on “a new earth that we are awaiting according to his (Jehovah God’s) promise, in these righteousness is to dwell.” – 2 Peter 3:13.
May the hope in these Scriptures bring you comfort and strength to endure the difficult days ahead. Please visit jw.org
