    I am so sorry for your loss. I know there may not be words that can express how you are feeling at this time, but Jehovah God knows. He knows all about your pain and the tears on your face. He knows how much you miss your loved one. Jehovah God tells us through his words the Bible that he cares for you.(1 Peter 5:7). He promised that one day pain and suffering will be no more. (Rev 21:4)

    We're so sorry to hear you are suffering the loss of your dear loved one. May you find strength and some comfort in the words found in Nahum 1:7 which reads: ”Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of distress. He is mindful of those seeking refuge in him.” Our loving God cares about us and is ready to bring us comfort if we allow him (1John 5:14). He also has made the provision of a resurrection RIGHT HERE ON EARTH when it is restored into a beautiful paradise. Can you see yourself welcoming back to life your dear loved one?
