    We are saddened to know you are grieving the recent loss of your loved one. May you find comfort in the words found in Psalms 34:18 which reads: “ Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit.” 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 SURE promise of a resurrection RIGHT HERE ON EARTH when it is restored into a beautiful paradise (Acts 24:15 Isaiah 55;11). See and imagine yourself welcoming back to life your dear loved one? Find out more about this resurrection online at JW.ORG

    Please accept my condolences on this loss to your family. The Bible tells us that turning to God in prayer at times like this draws us close to him (James 4:8). God is aware of the pain you are feeling and will provide the comfort and support that you need to get through this difficult time (Psalms 46:1). May God's promise for the future (John 5:28, 29) give you a wonderful hope in seeing Des once again.

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.

    We're sorry to hear about your recent loss. Accept our sincere condolences. May you find strength from the words of Philippians 4:13 which says: "For all things I have the strength through the one who gives me power." What a loving God who cares about each one of us. He didn't intend for us to grow old and die. He thus has made the SURE promise of a resurrection right here on earth when it is restored to a beautiful paradise (Psalms 37:9-11, 29; Acts 24:15; Isaiah 55;11). Can you see yourself welcoming back to life your loved ones? What a joy it will bring all of us. You can go online to JW.ORG and find out more about this resurrection.
