We are sincerely sorry for your loss. We hope you find much comfort in the promises of a peaceful new earth--no more wars, sickness, pain, or death. Most of all the promise of seeing our dead loved ones again. (Revelation 21:3, 4; Psalms 37:9-11, 29; John 5:28, 29)

I am so sorry about the loss of your loved one. The bible say, Jehovah God will provide comfort when loved ones die. Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 jw.org

Condolences to your family. One may think we will all be forced to confront death sooner or later. Its painful sting has caused many people to search for answers. Why did Jesus compare death to sleep? What can we learn from resurrections recorded in the Bible? Does death end it all?
Acts 24:15 says there will be a resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous. Can you imagine the joy of Martha and Mary when Jesus raised Lazarus back to life?—Read John 11:21-24, 38-44. Revelation 21:3,4 promises that one day death, mourning, and outcry will be no more.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. It can be very difficult when you lose a loved one in death. Please find comforting the loving promise from God that very soon death and the pain that it causes will be gone forever. (Revelation 21:4)
