    I am sorry to hear the loss of your loved one, Opal Inez Worley. It pains us losing a loved one but our Creator, Jehovah God reminds us at John 5:28, 29 that we can soon see our love ones and Revelation 21:3, 4 tells us soon death will be no more. The Bible makes the promise: “Your dead ones will live. . . . They will rise up.” And the Bible also says: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.”—Isaiah 26:19; Psalm 37:29.Through God’s word the bible, such scriptures are comforting to hear. The scripture at Hebrews 6:18 tells us that “it is impossible for God to lie” and Isaiah 55:11 tells us that “Jehovah’s word that goes forth from His mouth will prove to be. It will not return to Him without result”.I hope the above information will help you during this time of sorrow. If you have any questions, please contact me at comfortone4u@gmail.com or visit your local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Thank you,Tanya
