I was sorry to read about the loss of your dear loved one. The bible says that death is our enemy at 1 Corinthians 1526 and that is truly so because of the pain. But the bible also gives us hope of seeing them again in the resurrection recorded in Acts 24 15. Isaiah chapter 258 tells us that Jehovah God will swallow up death forever in his due time. John 528-29 says not to marvel at the dead, because the hour is coming when all those in the memorial tombs will hear his [Jesus] voice and come out. There is also hope in Revelations 213-4 which states that God will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more. May these scriptures bring you some comfort. With Deep Sympathy.
