My condolences for the loss of your loved one. It's times like these we need to ask our heavenly Father for the strength and comfort. "He is the hearer of prayers" call on him in times of distress. (Psalm 86:7). We all who has lost loved ones in death look forward to the wonderful promise found at John 5:28, 29 where it talks about the resurrection. We all have the hope of seeing our love ones again.
