To the family and friends, I am sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a loved one is painful. Our Heavenly father Jehovah felt pain too when his only begotten son, Christ Jesus, died for mankind. And just like he raised his son back to life, he gives us that hope to see our dead loved ones again, to see their smiles, hear their laughter, and embrace them again, by means of the resurrection hope. Hosea 13:14 says, "From the power of the Grave I will redeem them; From death I will recover them. Where are your stings, O Death? Where is your destructiveness, O Grave? Compassion will be concealed from my eyes." Yes, God has promised to redeem our loved ones again from the graves. I hope that you find comfort in this promise, soon to be fulfilled.
