I want to take a moment and offer my deepest symapthies for your loss. The pain we feel when we lose someone we love is heartbreaking, yet we can find much comfort in knowing that mourning is a natural reaction, one even felt by Jesus when his dear friend past away. John 11:35  "Jesus gave way to tears." He felt that pain but knew there was a hope, the same hope we have for our dear loved ones. Notice this promised hope at Acts 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." How we long for that day so close at hand to have our loved ones reuinted with us forever again.
