It is sad to lose a loved one to death. There is no comfort in death ,only grief. Almighty God understands that and he is going to eliminate it forever( Revelations 21:4). What a wonderful future blessing for obedient mankind.

My condolences in the loss of your beloved family member. The sting of death hurts so much that it may feel as though the strength to cope disappears. Our heavenly father, Jehovah is always there to comfort us during this difficult time. The psalmist at Psalm 94:19 found this to be true, and it can be yours as well. It says:" When anxieties overwhelmed me. You comforted and soothed me". And the promise at Jeremiah 31:13b “I will change their mourning into exultation. I will comfort them and give them joy instead of their grief.” May these scriptures comfort you at this time of bereavement.

I am sorry to hear about the lost of your love one, may your family find comfort and knowing that soon Jehovah God is going to do away with death forever ( Rev.21;3,4) and we can also find comfort in knowing that whatever he says it will come true cause he can not lie.Titus1;2.

I extend my condolences to you all for the loss of your dear loved one. May Jehovah(Psalms 83:18) the God of tender mercies and comfort provide you all endurance and hope in seeing your loved one again. 2 Corinthians 1:3, John 5:28,29
