I am sorry to hear of your loss and the pain the death can cause to each and everyone of us. Each living family has experienced death and the toll it brings to us.

When Lazarus passed away, Jesus took away to tears. It's okay to cry, it's ok to shed tears of sorrow. There comes a time that the Bible speaks of at Revelation 21: 3, 4. We all look forward to the time to see our dead loved ones again- no more tears, no more pain... the resurrection surely will be time that we can give praise to Jehovah God (www.jw.org).
