Sorry took so long but, you are going to love these. No versuses can beat these. For this is what death is.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Cr 15:52 for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
1Cr 15:54 Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Cr 15:55 O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory?
It means exactly what it means resurrection. This is what is going to happen when the Rapture happens. The dead will rise first, then the people living vanish.

First of all, I am sorry for your loss. Although the bible is a good source for comfort, it is not the only one. Her church is a good place to look for comfort also. There are also grief support groups out there--look in your local newspaper or go online to find one in your area. Crying is a natural part of the grieving process, it will pass when she is ready to move on. In the meantime, being there to help her is about all you can do right now. She has to grieve at her own pace. (what I do when I need comfort is just open the bible and whatever page it opens to, I start reading. There is usually always something within a page or two that comforts me.)

She is going through the natural course of mourning. This was her mother. Let her cry. She may, in fact, be sad for quite a while. The more she is allowed to mourn, the faster she will get through her mourning. What you can do to help her is to feed her, make sure she takes a shower, clean her house, get her into bed (she may literally be very disoriented for a couple of days or so)...ask her if there is anything you can get for her. I would only read something to her from the bible if she either requests it or agrees to it (such as you asking her, would you like me to read you a passage from the bible?). You helping her out is also a form of mourning for you. Give your mom a hug and tell her that you love her...just hug her...and give her time.

I wouldn't use the bible but i would tell your mom that your grandma is in heaven with family that love her and care for her very deeply. I'm truly sorry for your loss. Things get better with time and you know what let your mom cry sometimes that's the only way to truly let out your feelings. I cry at least 3 times a week sometimes over nothing. It's a good release of negative energy and helps soften the burdens we carry.

THese lines are very comforting to people all over the world
"" Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other we still are. Call me by my old familar name. Speak to me in the easy way you use to. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of slemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we have always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play. Smile. THink of me. Speak my name without a shadow of a ghost in it. Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight? Life means all that it ever meant and it will continue on".
God bless

HUMILITY
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
Philippians 2:8
FROM THE FATHER'S HEART
My child, do you long for greater service or more appreciation? Remember that joy comes from My applause. Those who serve Me humbly and patiently will receive their due reward. When you humble yourself before Me, I will lift you up and set you in places you never dreamed were possible. I gave My all for you with no regrets. And one day, you will hear My “Well done” in person.
A GRATEFUL RESPONSE
Heaven was at Your disposal, Lord, yet You humbled Your-self and came to earth. You exchanged a crown of glory for a wreath of thorns. You traded a royal robe for my own filthy rags. You gave up kingship for Sonship. You gave up life for death. I owe everything to You, Lord.

Try and find that 'there is a time for everything, a time to mourn and a time to dance' passage that seems to be very popular. (Ecc. 3:1 ) If that does not work there is a very good song by a group called 'Go Fish' the song is called 'Your my Little Girl' and it talks about how God comforts us when bad things happen.

It is okay for your mom to cry. There is nothing you can do to make her feel better. She has to cry. Jesus said to weep with those who weep. Bible verses are nice, but she has to go through this grieving time.
