Please accept my sympathy on your recent loss and be encouraged that God promises a time when “he will actually swallow up death forever.” (Isaiah 25:8) To remove death, He must eliminate its root cause, which is sin. God will do this through Jesus Christ, who “takes away the sin of the world.”—John 1:29
Then we will have the pleasure of seeing our dear loved ones once again because God has also promised to resurrect our lost ones (Act 24:15) “And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”
