Dear Martin Family: You have my deepest and most sincere sympathies in your time of loss. Psalms 147:3 says of Almighty God: “He heals the brokenhearted; He binds up their wounds.” Pray for the comfort only Almighty God can give and in time, He will heal your broken heart. Also keep in mind and heart the hope we have of seeing our loved ones again in the resurrection ‘of the righteous and the unrighteous’ (Acts 24:15). Yes, a bringing back to life, here on earth, where we can be see and be with our beloved family …. This is a promise from Almighty God who cannot lie (Titus 1:2)…. Then we will live on a beautifully restored earth where there will never again be sickness, sorrow or death. (Revelation 21:3, 4; Psalms 37:11, 29; Isaiah 33:24; Isaiah 11:6-9). At that time all the broken hearts will be healed…. 💔….. 💖 …… Please cut, paste and watch the attached short comforting video: https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=502017858&srcid=share
Dear Martin family, I’m so sorry for your loss. This is one of life’s greatest challenges that we have to face. Jesus said, did and promised something that gives us comfort and hope. In the Bible at John 11:11-14 Jesus likens death to sleep. This comforts us in two ways; 1) we are assured that our loved ones are not suffering or in pain. 2) If a person is just sleeping he will wake up! Notice what Jesus does next at John 11:43,44 this is amazing! Jesus promised us something similar at John 5:28,29 what a beautiful hope we have!
