So sorry for your loss. Even Jesus wept at the loss of a loved one. I have found comfort in the scriptural promises at Rev 21:3, 4 and I pray you will as well.

My most sincere condolences to your family at a very difficult time. Please find comfort from the words of our Heavenly father who know our pain when we loose a loved one. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 is his promise of comfort, Isaiah 25:8 is his promise of permanent removal of death which was never a part of his will for us.
