Hi my name is Kayla and I am a local bible teacher. I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. There is a very comforting scripture at Isaiah 258. It says that soon Jehovah will swallow up death forever and that he will wipe away all of the tears. So we can all look forward to a time when death will be no more. I hope that this scripture can bring some true comfort during these difficult times. kayla
When we are over powered with the pain of grief, over the loss of a loved one, We do well to go to the Bible. Thow all you anxiety on God, because he care for you. (1 Peter 5 7) We are given much hope, John 11 25, tells us of the great hope we have, of the resurrection. What a grand hope we have been given. Judy Thorpe
