No matter how long our loved ones are with us, death always brings pain and sorrow. The Bible calls death an enemy that Almighty God Jehovah will soon eliminate, 1 Corinthians 15:26; then the promise at Revelation 21:4 ‘death will be no more’ will be fulfilled right here on earth, Psalms 37:29. Until then, draw strength from one another, hold your memories close and lean on God for ‘everlasting comfort and good hope’ to cope in the days ahead, 2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17 and John 5:21. My deepest sympathy.
