To all the family:
Our hearts go out to you. She was so young! I hope to share something that has been comforting to me, when our family lost loved ones. It is a brochure called: "When Someone You Love Dies." You can see it on www.jw.org. It discusses the whole range of emotions that we experience when losing a loved one. Also, there is shared the comforting promise of the resurrection hope, gauranteed by Jesus' own resurrection. may you find strength and comfort in the many good memories you cherish, and may they help to ease the pain.
Note Jesus promise 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, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment."
Another comforting promise is at Revelation 21:3,4: "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: "Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." "
With sympathy,
