I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Recently I lost my dear mother,
and found great comfort in the words of Jesus at John 11:11-14, where
he likens death to being asleep, and at John 5:28,29 - "All those in
the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." For more, I
turn to the website: www.jw.org (Search: Comfort)
