I’m very sorry for your loss and wanted to offer you and your family some comfort I’ve found from the Bible. In John 11:25 Jesus said “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.” I hope you can find some comfort from the Bible’s promise that we will see our dead loved ones again.
