I was very sorry to hear about your loss. However, I wanted to reach out to you to encourage you to consider a scripture that has brought much comfort to me when I too have faced the loss of a dear loved one. It's recorded at John 5:28 & 29 and in part it states, 'Do not be amazed at this for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out….' It is bible scriptures like this and many more that keep me going knowing that my loved ones future prospects lie with our creator and his beloved dear son. Please reflect upon these words in times of sadness, grief and deep sorrow.
