Dear family, I'm sorry for your loss as I sympathize with losing a loved one. It is important however to have hope for the future and in a promise made by God. The Bible tells us we will be reunited with them: "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" (Acts 24:15). God never initially intended for death nor suffering to occur and so he also promises to eliminate it (Revelation 21:3,4). It is my hope as well that your mourning not last long and that you can find comfort in God's Word.
