To the family,
When a loved one dies, no words, however reasonable, can take away the pain and the void you feel. However, there is One, who truly knows how you feel. May Jehovah, "the Father of tender mercies, and God of all comfort" give you "the peace of God that excels all thought" during this time.(2 Corinthians 1:3,4; Philippians 4:7)He says: "He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces."(Isaiah 25:8; Psalms 83:18; Exodus 6:3, New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)He says: "Your dead ones will live."(Isaiah 26:19, NW)He promises that: "The earth shall cast out the dead."(Isaiah 26:19, Holy Bible King James Version)Although the loss is painful, there is hope. "For no matter how many the promises of God (Jehovah) are, they have become Yes by means of (by the death of)Jehovah's only-begotten Son, Christ Jesus."(2 Corinthians 1:20; John 10:36; John 3:16, New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures) So "Trust ye the LORD forever. For the LORD Jehovah is everlasting strength."-Isaiah 26:4, Holy Bible King James Version
