The Blanks Family,
I am sorry to read of your loss. We can recieve comfort and hope through Jehovah God’s word the Bible. At John 6:40 it says “For this is the will of my Father, that everyone that beholds the Son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life, and I will resurrect him at the last day.” Through this scripture we see that if we exercise faith in Jesus then we will have everlasting life. Also those who have died will live again. Can you imagine such a time? We will be reunited with our loved ones and will have the prospect of everlasting life. I hope this thought helps you cope. Remember to look to Jehovah God who will help you cope.
