    I am sorry to read about your loss. May God’s words in the Bible at Ps 34:18 provide you comfort. The scriptures tells us “HE” is near to those broken at heart, and those crushed in spirit HE saves.

    Please except our condolences for the passing of your love one. To lose someone in death is never easy. Know wonder the Bible says that desthis and enemy and it turly is. We have o power to fight it, no one can see it coming or step our of it’s path. It hang over every living life like an invisible cloud. Thanks to Almighty God Jehovah by means of His Son Jesus Christ He offers hope through the resurrection. He showed Martha the sister of Lazarus what he could and will do. At John 11:23-26 s“ Jesus said to her: Your brotherwill rise. Martha said to him I know he will in the resurrection on the last day . Jesus said I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies will come to life;and everyone who is living and exercises faith in me will never die at all. Do you believe this? The resurrection is a sure hope from Almighty God Jehovah. He cannot, will not lie. My the promise of the resurrection comfort and strengthen your family and friends. Again my condolences.

    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?
