— Marilynne Moorey, November 19, 2016I wanted to express my heartfelt condolences to Doug's family. There's such a sense of helplessness when someone we love dies. I'd like to share some scriptural thoughts that really helps me. Prayer is so valuable at this time but it's not that prayer simply makes us feel better. 2 Cor. 4:7 says that God can give us, "... power beyond what is normal ", to go from one day to the next. This does not mean that we no longer cry or that we forget, but it means we recover. The reason we recover is because of our hope. Jesus Christ talked about our hope in John 5:28, "... all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out ". Jesus was referring to the resurrection; this is our hope that helps us recover and gives us power to go on. 2 Cor. 1:3 describes our Creator as, "... the God of all comfort ". One way that God comforts us is by moving people who care about us to give us words of encouragement that we need to hear. May the God of comfort (Ps. 83:18) be your comfort now during this time of sorrow.
— Elaine Lambert, November 19, 2016So very sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one is so very hard. Losing someone suddenly is awful. I would like to share with you a comforting thought from the bible. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4: “Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God.” I too lost someone very close to my heart. Both of my parents now. Please let me pass on some words of encouragement and comfort. “How am I going to get thru this?” You ask yourself. Not all is lost but it can be very painful. Let me ask you. Would Jehovah god be so cruel as to leave us without an answer? Without a balm to this awful pain? The bible states that there will be a resurrection. John 5:28,29 states: “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.” A resurrection? You might think. How am I supposed to believe this, it seems impossible. Can you really believe what the bible says? Yes and for these three reasons found in this brochure, Can the dead really live again? http://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/dead-live-again-tract/dead-live-again/#?insight[search_id]=700376a4-2572-4970-877b-13d0ccfb707d&insight[search_result_index]=10 Within this brochure you will see clearly how you can believe in the resurrection of the righteous and may it appease your sorrow until the time comes for you to be reunited with your loved one.
