I am sorry for the loss of your dear Barbara. During times like this our God gives each one of us a very real hope of actually enjoying life with our passed loved ones once again right here on this good earth. At John 528 and 29 Jesus himself tells us that those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out to a resurrection of life, similar to how he resurrected his friend Lazarus. Lazarus was resurrected back to life on earth. That is in harmony with God’s original purpose for humans, to fill the earth and subdue it. (Genesis 128) God’s original purpose for humans has not changed. To see our passed loved ones again on a beautified earth is a hope few dare to dream about, much less firmly believe in. This hope has helped me get through some tough times and I hope it helps you now. When some time has passed, feel free to visit jw dot org for more comfort. Again, I am sorry for your loss. MN
My sincere condolences to the Jones family for your loss. Certainly Barbara will be missed and memories of her will be cherished! During this time of sorrow mediating on the wonderful promises found in Jehovah`s word the Bible, about there being no more death(Rev 214, 5), and being able to see our loved ones again(Acts 2415), gives us comfort(2 Cor. 13, 4)! Please feel free to check out our website http://www.jw.org and go to publications and then books and brochures. You can consider the Brochure When Someone You Love Dies. Also you can search for the book What Does the Bible Really Teach, and read Chapter 6 Where Are The Dead and Chapter 7 Real Hope For Your Loved Ones Who Have Died. I’m sure that you will enjoy the Bible based information, that will take you right to your Bible! Please feel free to email me at [emailprotected] if you have any questions. May your family be comforted!
I am so sorry for your loss. It is particularly hard when you lose a loved one who has been around for 80 years. The Holy Bible tells us that the span of our life is 70 years or 80 if one is especially strong. (Psalm 9010) I hope that the many memories that you made with Barbara will bring you the comfort you need in order to endure this difficult time. Again, please accept my sincere condolences.
