My sympathy to the family. As you try to comprehend this profound loss…know that it is okay to grieve the loss of your dear loved one. For the true God in the heavens feel your pain. He knows your suffering and will help you cope with your grief. Job 10:1 says " I will speak out in my bitter distress". Have faith in God’s promise written at Acts 24:15 which expresses the hope of seeing your dead loved ones again. It is comforting for us to know that God does not cause suffering and that one day it will end.-Revelation 21:3,4.
