My condolences to the family on the loss of your loved one William. When we lose a loved one, we are overwhelmed with sadness and left with an void in our life. To help ease our sorrow, our Heavenly Father gives us promises in His word the Bible that provide comfort and hope. One promise is in Revelation 21:4 which says “death will be no more” and another promise is in Acts 24:15 which says “there will be a resurrection”. When these promises are fulfilled, we have the hope of never separating from our loved one again. Titus 1:2 says that God “cannot lie” so we know this will happen.
