To The Family, At Job 14:14, Job asked the question, "If a man dies, can he live again?..." He answers that question in verse 15, "You (Jehovah) will call and I will answer you." Job had confidence in the resurrection hope and we can too (John 5: 28,29). Jesus is the resurrection and the life. Jesus brings this point out at John 11:25. We can be thankful that Almighty God has given Jesus the authority to bring our dear loved ones back from the grave. Please allow the resurrection hope to comfort you.

We are so sorry for your loss. The death of a love one can be extremely difficult to cope with. Many have found comfort through the promises found there in Gods word the Bible especially the promises found there at 1Cor.15:26 and Acts 24:15. The Bible repeatedly speaks about the elimination of death and a time when we will see our love ones again. Take comfort in those verses mentioned earlier and do know our prayers are with you during this difficult time. Jw.org..Mary Ann

TO Mitchell Family; I am truly sorry to hear of the loss of your precious daughter. The loss of anyone is painful, but when it is your child and so young, the grief is almost unbearable. But may Friends, Family and God comfort you and help you in the days, weeks and months ahead. ( Psalms 34:18) ; Please try and get a copy of brochure "When Someone You Love Dies", (www.jw.org). It was a tremendous help for me in my time of grief.

I am sorry you have suffered the loss of your dear young one, please have faith in God. By meditating on God’s promises found in the Bible, you can find real hope and the strength to keep going throughout your grief. "For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus."—1 Thessalonians 4:14

You have my heartfelt condolences. Death is never easy and the loss of someone so young can be very hard. But lean on the Most High God who is the God of all comfort, as well as family and friends, for strength and support to carry you through this. (Psalm 83:18; Isa. 41:10; 2 Cor. 1:3, 4) Keep her happy memories close to your heart. And keep your head up. Acts 24:15 says “there is going to be a resurrection”. We will be able to see Dana again on a restored earth. (Psalm 37:11, 29) I hope this brings you peace.
