I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Death is a very hard thing to deal with. Although we see it at times as better for the person because they are no longer suffering, it hurts so bad. The Bible promises that one day death will be swallowed up forever. (Isaiah 25:8) Wouldn't that be a wonderful day when God takes away one of, if not the, most hurtful things in life.
