To the family,

I know its not easy for what you are going through. In God's word the bible, God describes death as a 'sting'. (1 Corinthians 15: 56) A sting hurts and death is the ultimate sting. But there is good news that Jehovah God has for all of us. Through his son, Jesus Christ, Christ paid the greatest ransom of all time to end death when he sacrificed himself for all of us. By doing this, 'the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing'. (1 Corinthians 15:26)

So what does that mean to us all? According to John 5:28, 29, Jehovah God will send his son Jesus Christ to resurrect those who have fallen asleep in death. What a wonderful relief! We will actually see our love ones again! So, even though this is a sad occasion, Jehovah God is with us and he will do what he promises to do. "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." (Revelations 21, 4)

There's a link that I will like to include that is from our www.jw.org website. That link opens up to a tract with the question, 'Can the dead really live again?'. Inside this tract as scriptural reasoning for the reassurance of seeing your love one again. Here is the link:

Again, my condolences to the family.

Janella

Dear Family,

Please accept my sincere condolence on your loss. The Bible can bring you much hope and comfort at a time like this, because within its pages are the precious promises from our Almighty Creator that soon He is going to end death, sickness and sorrow (Revelation 21:3,4). In addition to that, our loving Heavenly Father has made arrangements through His Son, Christ Jesus, to bring back to life "all those in the memorial tombs" (John 5:28,29). May you find the strength to hold on by meditating on these beautiful promises from Jehovah God.

My expressions of condolence to the family. Be assured that Jehovah God is aware of what you are experiencing in the loss of your loved one. Acts 24:15 tells us there will be a resurrection. Also Isaiah 25:8 says God will swallow up death forever. For further information please refer to web site jw.org
