I genuinely regret your loss. No one better than God, understands the depth of your pain and can help you cope with your disquieting thoughts. He is called the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort and he cares for you. The Bible describes a time in the future when mankind will not be subject to criminals, violence, accidents, sickness, and death. Jehovah God promised that soon, he will wipe out every tear from our eyes, death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. (Psalm 37:29; Revelation 21:4) Until that day comes, I hope that in due time you receive God’s peace that excels all thought, so that it will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.
