Let the Tears Flow
It is human to cry. Crying helps you to heal. Cry with friends, family, and alone. Don’t be surprised when the grief “freight train” runs over you. Just be in the moment, and it will pass. Struggle through your emotions and you will find relief as your reward.

Psalm 30:5 – Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

The best Friend a bereaved person can have is our Creator, Jehovah God. Pour out your heart to him in prayer because he cares for you(1Peter 5:7). God has promise in the near future to do away with tears, death and pain(Revelation 21:3,4), and to resurrect the dead(John 5:28,29). Find real hope and the strength to keep going by thinking on God's promises during this time of sorrow, because he cares for you(1 Peter 5:7).

We await the time when death will be a thing of the past.May Jehovah God be with all who knew and loved her now and in the days to come.
The pain of death can be overwhelming .The Bible provides much comfort during difficult times. We have a promise at(1 Corinthians 15:26) that very soon now "death will be brought to nothing ."Then we will have the prospect of being reunited with loved ones who are sleeping in death.(John 5:28-29)
Looking forward with you to the resurrection of your loved one.Jehovah the Sovereign Lord provides escape from death ."(Psalm 68:20)
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear about you lost, but just to know we have such a loving God who cares and understand us that he is going to give us our love ones back is such a blessing to hold on to so may you remember what Jehovah says at Rev.21:3,4 all these things will be things of the pass these former things have passed away help us to put our trust in such a loving Father Jehovah and one day to be able to live right here on earth.
