I am saddened by the death of your loved one, and concerned about the sorrow and distress your families are feeling at this time. I wanted to share this scriptural hope that has helped me. I hope it will help you as well. God never intended for humans to die (Romans 5:12). He also calls death ‘an enemy’ (1 Corinthians 15:26). Jehovah hates death, and will undo death by means of a resurrection. He yearns to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them live on earth again (Job 14:14,15). Please accept my deepest sympathies. For more information, visit jw.org.
