So sorry to read of the loss of your loved one. I would like to offer some comfort and hope by sharing a couple of scriptures from God’s word.
John 5:28,29 tells us one day we can see the dead rise again and come back to life, also they will have the chance to live forever as he has also promised at Rev. 21: 4,5.
May knowing about these hopes and promises help you through this difficult time.
