My condolences to the Sandvig family I am so sorry for you loss. May Jehovah be with your family in your time of greif we all know how you feel because we all have loss someone we love. But you can have hope because God has said there is going to be a resurrection for all mankind . At John 5:28,29 it talkes about a resurrection hope . Again I am sorry for your loss.

Bob, I am so sorry to hear of Kathy's death. I remember having a shirt in high school that read: "No Jesus, No hope. Know Jesus, Know Hope." This is our hope: Kathy is in heaven. You will see her again. And you still have a God-given purpose to fulfill while you are still here on earth. Without the possibility of hope, I would have crumbled a long time ago. I wouldn't have had a reason to get out of bed in the morning. I wouldn't have been able to let the funeral home carry my Mom’s cancer ridden body out of her house the night she breathed her last. I wouldn't have been able to let them bury her in the ground. Because I have hope, I know that this was not "the end" for my Mom. It was just the beginning. And it's not the end for Kathy. It's okay to cry. To grieve. To mourn. The reason we grieve so much is just a reflection of how much we loved . You are going to feel her loss. You will miss her being an active and physical part of your family. And that's alright. But rather than dismiss the pain, seal it away in a jar... you need to accept it. Welcome it. And see it as a part of healing. Because you will be with her again and for her, it will have felt like only a few minutes since she had seen you last. Know Jesus- Know Hope. Hope. It truly makes all the difference.
