A life without tears, death, and pain will soon be a reality. Please know that Jehovah the One true God(Psalm 83:18) cares for you and feels for you in your pain(1 Peter 5:7). He has promised in the near future to do away with death and tears(Revelation 21:3,4), and promises to resurrect the dead(John 5:28,29). Lazarus was dead 4 days and Jesus Christ the Son of God called him out of the tomb showing what he will do in the future. So, have faith in Jehovah God's promises and find real hope and the strength you need during this time of sorrow.

May the God of all comfort strengthen the family during this time of deep sorrows. Those who pass on, God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes.  Psalms 116:15
