I'm so sorry for your loss. I too have recently lost my loved one in death. This loss can be so overwhelming. Fortunately, I found comfort in God's promise that one day I would see my dear loved one again. (John 5:28,29) May God give you the peace & comfort you need at this difficult time. (Philippians 4:6,7)

To Juel Kent
I am truly sorry for the loss of your most beloved wife. Perhaps your pain is similar to that of Abraham when he lost his beloved Sarah at Genesis 23:1,2. However, there is reason for you to take comfort and have a sure hope. It is due to a loving promise made at John 5:28,29.
Once again, my sincerest condolences to you and your family.

To the family:
I am truly sorry for your loss. Please know that God never intended for any of us to have to suffer with pain, sickness, old age, and especially death. These tragedies are all due to Adam and Eves disobedience. Their actions caused us all to become sinners leaving us with the grief of death. Thankfully Jehovah has promised that soon he will do away with all these things. It is written in his book the Bible at Revelation 21:4 there it says “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. What a joyous time it will be when these things occur.
