I am so sorry for your loss. I recently lost my sister in death and found comfort in the positive hope that the bible offers. My sister had suffered painfully with cancer for many years and the following scriptures helped me to gain relief about the condition of and the future hope for the dead. I hope that they will comfort you also: Eccl. 9:5: The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all. (Acts 24:14-15) 15 and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. You may have questions such as: Why do good people suffer and die? What is the purpose of life? If you would like answers from the bible please contact me at: twajek05@yahoo.com Sincerely,
