Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Remember her sunset on earth meant a sunrise in Heaven. May the God of peace give you comfort.
The Bible promises that those who have died will be resurrected to a paradise earth. (John 528,29) Communicate your feeling, Kind words will cheer you up. (Prov. 1225) Keeping your feeling bottled up inside may make it difficult for you to deal with your grief. On the other hand, discussing your feelings with someone you trust will open the way for you to receive kind words of encouragement when you need it most. God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, & death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. (Rev. 214) Talk to God. Likely, you will feel much better after you pour out your heart to Jehovah God in prayer. (Ps. 628) This is not simply a feel-good therapy. In prayer, you are appealing to the God of all comfort, who comfort us in all our tribulation. (2 Cor. 13,4) By these following scriptures. Ps. 3418; Ps. 10217; Ps. 1473; Isaiah 258. It is my hope that some of these will help you, as they did for me. giving, hope to see our loved ones once again
