I am very sorry to read of the loss of your loved one. This loss is a very traumatic experience indeed. We have comfort and hope in the Bible (Acts 24:15). It also offers comfort when loved ones die (2 Corinthians 1:3,4), freedom from a morbid fear of death (Hebrews 2:15), and a real hope of being reunited with your loved one( John 5:28,29).
