Losing a Loved One

‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’ and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.”

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit.

So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.

Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid. …

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
