My condolences to the family. Although this is inevitably a saddening event in your lives, it is comforting to comprehend some of the promises found in the written Word of God. The book of Acts, chapter 24, verse 15 states, "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." Therefore, we can have hope of being reunited with our loved ones. We can have faith in these words as it is confirmed that it is the truth, just as the rest of the Bible is proving itself to be (John 17:17). It is my hope you will rest your anxieties and sadnesses on God, as he is "the God of all comfort" (2 Corinthians 1:3,4).
