I am sorry to hear of your loss. Death is an enemy to us all. It is especially an enemy when it strikes someone dear to us. Jehovah God is more powerful than death and he promises to get rid of this enemy once and for all. The Bible teaches: "As the last enemy, death will be brought to nothing." (1Corinthians 15:26) Then the words of John 5:28 will be fulfilled: "The hour is coming when all that are in the memorial tombs will hear his [Jesus] voice and come out." By exercising faith in God and the ransom sacrifice of his Son, we have the hope of everlasting life. (John 3:16). I hope these words will help you cope with the loss of your loved one.
