    My sincerest condolences in the loss of your loved one. When someone we love dies it brings much grief and sorrow. The Bible can give us comfort and hope with scriptures such as Revelation 21:3, 4 and Isaiah 25:8. These scriptures tell of Jehovah God’s promise of no more sickness and death. May these words of encouragement give you strength to endure the difficult days ahead. Again, I am sorry for your loss.
