It is a painful thing to lose a love one in death, your family have my heartfelt sympathy. Death is never easy, and it brings great sorrow. Even Jesus cried when Lazarus died (John 11:35). But look forward to the day when our loved ones will rise, they will live (Isaiah 29:19. I hope these Scriptures bring you some comfort at this sad time.
