I'm sorry for the lost of your family member .To give comfort I would like to share you a message from the Bible. We all want to live and enjoy life to the full with the ones who we love. And it's natural that we do, but I would like to give a scripture and that's at John 5:28, 29 that states That Jesus will resurrect the ones who are sleeping in death, and just like God's original promise that we as humans will live on a paradise earth with everlasting life (John 17:3) and (Psalm 37:29).I hope this will comfort you and your family and that you can always rely on the Bible for comfort and guidance.
