Very sorry to read of the passing of your dear loved one Brad. It seems that life is such a precious gift and yet so short-lived for the time we exist. The bible has words of comfort and encouragement. God holds out a wonderful hope for all those in the grave. At John 11:25 Jesus said "I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. HE THAT EXERCIES FAITH IN ME, EVEN THOUGH HE DIES, WILL COME TO LIFE," The bible gives nine accounts of ones who were resurrected. That should strengthened our faith that God can bring back to life the billions of dead people he holds within his memory. (John 5-28,29) What a blessed reason to hope in God! With the gift of your memories of Brad they will bring you great joy. Grieving is the normal and natural respond to the loss of some one you love. I found three ways that helped me. Talking and writing about my feelings. Also reading the information in the bible about the resurrection. Continue to lean on Jehovah God for the strength you need at this sad time.
