I am so sorry for your lost. Hugs and prayers!
My heart and deepest sympathies to you and your family during this difficult time. I know the heartbreak and pain of losing a loved one in death so I wanted to take a moment to share an encouraging scripture that gives me much hope. 1 Corinthians 15:26 “And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.” When we lose someone in death our heavenly Father sees the pain we feel and he promises to very soon do away with this wicked enemy of ours once and for all. And then he promises the most beautiful hope, to bring back to life all our dear loved ones and to reunite them with us again! What a beautiful promise of comfort and hope and how we long for that truly special day so close at hand.
