Sincere condolences for your loss. It's so hard to lose a family member. We were never meant to die, however Jehovah God has promised to end death, pain and suffering forever as it says at Revelation 21:3,4. Many that have died will be resurrected back to life on a restored paradise earth to live again forever. (Acts 24:15, Psalms 37:9-11,29) This is a real bible based hope. www.jw.org
