I invite you to draw near to Me in your time of trouble. Let me help with your broken heart and feelings of sadness at the death and passing of your loved one. In your profound loss, take comfort. I never left or abandoned them during the suffering they endured. In your hour of distress, cry out to me and be aware in the midst of your grief that your loved ones and we will all meet again, and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. (The Funeral)

Focus on my love and comfort, letting go of the constant questioning in your mind, why did this happen? Death exists for a moment, a step from the here and now into the realm of eternal glory. Trust me with your fears and doubts, for I am the resurrection and the life, and whoever believes in me will never die. Release your loved ones into my loving care and no longer worry but rejoice with them in my presence. (There is no Closure with Grief and Loss)

Scripture: So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. John 16: 22  NIV

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live… John 11:25 ESV
