My deepest condolences for the loss of your dear loved one. Losing a loved one to death is one of the hardest things to deal with in life. And while nothing will completely take away your grief, by meditating on Gods promises found in the Bible, (John 5:28, 29; Revelation 21:3, 4) you can find real hope and the strength to keep going. My family and I have found the scripture at Isaiah 25:8 to be especially comforting. Here it promises that God "will swallow up death forever and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces."
