I am very sorry for your loss. One encouraging thought you might find comforting in this difficult time is found at John 5:28, 29. “The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.†God gives us the hope that he will soon resurrect our dead loved ones and we can see them again. Won’t that be wonderful! I hope that comforts you as it does me.
