My condolences to the family. The loss of a loved one is never easy. May our loving God continue to bless and strengthen you as you remember that his word the Bible at John 5:28, 29 says that there is going to be a resurrection. With this promise we have a chance to see our loved ones again. The best Friend a bereaved person can have is our Creator, Jehovah God. We are encouraged at 1 Peter 5:7 to pour out our heart to him in prayer because "he cares for you." Moreover, he promises that all who do so will have their thoughts and feelings soothed by "the peace of God that surpasses all understanding." (Philippians 4:6,7) Please allow God to help you heal by means of his consoling word the Bible. For more information along with your Bible on God's promises, please feel free to go to the site www.jw.org. May all the many wonderful memories that Barbara your loved one provided comfort you during this most difficult time.
