No matter how long our loved ones are with us, death always brings pain and sorrow. The Bible calls death an enemy that Almighty God Jehovah will soon eliminate, 1 Corinthians 15:26; then the promise at Revelation 21:4 ‘death will be no more’ will be fulfilled. Until then, draw strength from one another, hold your memories close and lean on God for ‘everlasting comfort and good hope’ to cope in the days ahead, 2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17 and John 5:21. My deepest sympathy.
