    I’m sorry for your loss, but I would like to share some good news with you today. Revelation 21:4 says God will wipe every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither mourning nor outcry nor pain will be anymore. The former things have passed away. The pain of losing a loved one is never easy, but with family, friends, and most of all God by your side, things can and will get better.
