The pain, grief and feelings of helplessness can seem unbearable at such times, we can go to God's Word for comfort. The Bible helps us to understand how Almighty God and Jesus feel about death, and how his promise for our loved ones who passed away will soon become a reality here on earth. I hope these scriptures at Isaiah 25:8; Psalm 37:11,29 will bring you comfort and hope. Please accept my condolences.
