For some people time helps to cope with different situations. We never forget but we learn how to cope and that eases some of the sorrow. Continued reliance on God's word the Bible also is a binding force which helps mend our broken hearts. Such is the case when we read Psalms 147:3, and 34:18. Also when we think of the wonderful hope of the resurrection found in John 5:28,29 our hearts are filled with hope!

The death of a loved one can be a very challenging time for everyone in the family. Coping with a loss is difficult and at times overwhelming. For many Gods word is a source of encouragement. While I dont know your family I have experienced losing a loved one in death and relying on the hope the Bible offers has helped. For instance Phillipians 4:13 gives us the strength to continue enduring. We also have the hope of the resurrection found at John 5:28,29. I sincerely hope that these scriptures help you in your times of sorrow.

We are very sadden to hear of the loss of Elizabeth. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family. Her memory will always stay in your hearts. Our Best Regards, Jim and Mary Ellen (Diane's Sister)
