Please accept my condolences. I have found comfort in God’s word, the Bible. Such as the future earthly hope for our loved ones found at John 5:28,29: “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.”
