I am sorry to read of the death of your loved one. Even when it is expected, death has a sting of pain that can be very deep. Thankfully God has provided his word, the Bible that can give us comfort. For example Ecclesiastes 9:5 says that when someone dies, they are not suffering; note what it says “For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.� Psalms 55:22 gives this direction: “Throw your burden on Jehovah [God] himself, And he will sustain you�. If we draw close to God in prayer, he will give us the needed comfort and support during this time of grief. I hope in time, happy memories will replace the pain and sorrow you may be feeling now.
