My condolences to the Foran family for their loss. When the enemy death strikes, our grief can be great. The Bible assures us at Psalm 34:18-"Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart, and those who are crushed in spirit he saves." More than anything else, a relationship with God can help you cope with the death of your loved one. The psalmist urges us: "Throw your burden upon Jehovah himself, and he himself will sustain you." (Psalm 55:22) Almighty God has not only the power, but also the desire to resurrect persons whom he chooses. Jesus Christ assures us that millions now dead will live again on this earth, and have the prospect of remaining on it forever under peaceful, paradisaic conditions.- Luke 23:43; John 3:16; John 17:3.
