Though it's been almost a year, the pain of losing a loved one never leaves us. Psalms 34:18 says "Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart; and those that are crushed in spirit he saves," God cares and has promised to resurrect our dead loved ones (John 5:28,29) back to a paradise and  peaceful earth in the near future (Psalms 37:9-11,29; and Revelation 21:4)  www.jw.org
