Dear loving family of James,
I’m very sorry for the sad loss of your beloved husband James, and your beloved father, and grandfather. Though I don’t know you, and I didn’t know your dear husband James, please accept my deepest sympathy for you and your family in your painful loss.
I would like to share with you what continues to bring me comfort in the most painful losses of my life in the hope that you will find some additional comfort.
I think about the fact that they’re not suffering in any way, and that means a lot to me! And I look forward to the time for the resurrection at which time I hope to be here to welcome them each back to life with a close and loving hug! My beloved Mom and Dad and my beloved youngest brother who died suddenly and very unexpectedly at age 51. They all died within the past little over 3 1/2 years and my beloved brother a little over 1 1/2 years ago.
Acts 24:15 promises “that there is going to be a resurrection.” Ecclesiastes 9:11b explains why many die, that “time and unexpected events (Or, “unforeseen occurrence”) overtake them all.”
Our loving God doesn’t cause sad things to happen to our loved ones, as James 1:13 shows.
Revelation 21:4 gives us the wonderful promise for the near future of no mourning, pain or death!
Psalms 37:10, 11, 29 help us realize that many will upon being resurrected, be welcomed back to life by their loved ones! Then no wicked, and “the meek will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace to live forever here on the earth when it’s restored to paradise conditions! Then life will be like our Creator meant for life to be! Perfect peace and harmony; even the animals will be safe and peaceful as Isaiah 11:6-9 shows.
Isaiah 33:24 shows that there won’t be any more sickness! And Job 33:25 that older ones will return to the days of their youth but with good health!
I hope that you’re finding comfort in your memories, perhaps by looking at pictures. And I hope that these and other verses help you too. Romans 15:4 shows that we can find true comfort in God’s written Word.
Please look at JW.ORG for more comfort.
Take care.
Sincerely Yours,
Cindy Boyer
