It is really sad that you lost your loved one in death. Your dear Veronica will be missed by many friends and relatives. My name is Ne-el Warren, you may not know me but when I read about the death of your loved one, I wanted to send my sincere regards to her family and friends. Please accept my sympathy. Millions or persons around the world often wonder, What happens to us when we die? Is there some part of us that lives on after death? Dispite what many religions teach, we can find satisfying answers in the Bible. For example, Psalms 146:4 says "His spirit goes out, he returns to the ground;On that very day his thoughts perish". So the Bible clearly states that when someone dies, there thoughts perish, no part of the person continues living. Even when Jesus' good friend Lazarus died, Jesus said to his disciples " After he said these things, he added: “Lazʹa·rus our friend has fallen asleep, but I am traveling there to awaken him.” 12 The disciples then said to him: “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get well.” 13 Jesus, however, had spoken about his death. But they imagined he was speaking about taking rest in sleep. 14 Then Jesus said to them plainly: “Lazʹa·rus has died". (John 11:11-14). So Jesus, God's son compared death to a sleep. He didn't say that Lazarus was in heaven or with his family members who had died. Neither did he say that Lazarus was suffering in hell. He was simply in a deep sleep. So you can be comforted in knowing that your dear Veronica is not suffering. I left you a video link at the bottom that will be of great comfort to you.
