Hello I first want to say that I am deeply sorry for your loss, and would like to share a scripture that brought me comfort during a difficult time such as this. It is found at Acts 24:15 which says, “15 And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” Here we see that God, whose name is Jehovah is going to bring our loved ones back to life. I hope this message brings you comfort and encouragement during this difficult time.
