Dear family, the loss of a loved one stirs up feelings within us that we wouldn't wish upon anyone. Those feelings are powered by the love that we have for the one we've just lost. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 describes that love, and the power it has. 1 John 4:8 teaches us that God is not just the creator of love, but that "God is love". I find it comforting to know that God has that same love you feel, for all of us, so the death of your loved one is devastating to God as well. I hope you can find comfort in the Bible's messages, such as the promise found at Revelation 21:3,4; a time when the feelings you are now experiencing will no longer exist. A time when we can laugh, love, and live with our loved ones in peace. For more information please visit Jw.org.
