I am sorry for your lost. May you find comfort in God’s Word the Bible. Jesus said: At John 6:40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who recognizes the the Son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life, and I will resurrect him (her) on the last day.
May the hope in these Scripture bring you comfort and strength to endure the difficult days ahead. Please visit jw.org (Research comfort.)
