The passing of your loved one Joseph is one of the most devastating experiences your family can face, and at times, the loss may seem unbearable. However, finding ways to express my deepest sympathies to your family is most difficult. Furthermore, your faith in the Bible based resurrection hope for Joseph, Jesus spoke about at John 11:25. These words of Jesus are comforting to your family knowing that Joseph have a hope in a resurrection. Moreover, the help that God supplies does make a difference, because God can help you to cope with the death of your love one. The Bible makes this comforting promise: ‚Äö?Ñ??Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves (Psalms 34:18). True, divine help does not eliminate the pain, but it can make it easier to bear. That does not mean that you will no longer cry or will forget your loved one. So, draw close to Jehovah, the God of all comfort during this time of sorrow and sadness.
