If, not do you have any suggestions of Scriptures to share with those who recently lost a loved one?

No there are not for we will be spirit without features.
MT 22:29 Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. 31 But about the resurrection of the dead--have you not read what God said to you, 32 `I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob' ? He is not the God of the dead but of the living."

Where do you find any proof in Scripture for the redeemed dying and going to heaven at all? There is none, it is an idea from 2nd Century AD Gnosticism, which was declared a heresy by the early Church, that has somehow survived in popular belief to this day. The Bible declares that the believers hope is in the Day of Resurrection, when we will be declared righteous before God and given the ability to live again on the new earth under the lordship of Jesus Christ. The believers hope, then, is that they will see their loved ones again on the Day of Resurrection, and not in heaven. Heaven is only a dwelling place for the heavenly hosts, not meant for humans to enter. Therefore, I would tell someone who recently lost a loved one to mourn, but also rejoice for their reunion on the Day of Resurrection.

I just looked up "eternal family" in my topical guide, and this is what it came up with for Bible verses:
Gen. 2: 24 they shall be one flesh.
Gen. 25: 8Abraham . . . died . . . and was gathered to his people.
Gen. 35: 29Isaac . . . died, and was gathered unto his people.
Gen. 49: 33Jacob . . . yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.
Isa. 51: 2Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah.
Isa. 65: 23blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them.
Mal. 4: 6 turn the heart of the fathers to the children.
Matt. 19: 8put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
Mark 10: 9What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
1 Cor. 11: 11neither is the man without the woman . . . in the Lord.
I hope that helps.

Family relationships can last forever—not just for this life.
Just as some of life’s sweetest joys can come through family associations, the loss of a beloved family member can be a source of our deepest sorrows.
But death does not need to be the end of our relationships with cherished loved ones. The Lord revealed to Joseph Smith that the “same sociality which exists among us here will exist among us there [in eternity], only it will be coupled with eternal glory” (Doctrine and Covenants 130:2).
Family members who accept the Atonement of Jesus Christ and follow His example can be together forever through sacred ordinances performed in God’s holy temples.

2 Samuel 12:19 When David saw that his servants were whispering, David perceived that the child was dead. Therefore David said to his servants, “Is the child dead?”
And they said, “He is dead.”
20 So David arose from the ground, washed and anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he went into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he went to his own house; and when he requested, they set food before him, and he ate. 21 Then his servants said to him, “What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive, but when the child died, you arose and ate food.”
22 And he said, “While the child was alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ‘Who can tell whether the LORD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?’ 23 But now he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.”

The Psalm:
"Though makest me to lie near still waters."
There is no Scripture to directly support it, but logic dictates that, if Scripture tells us that we who die in Christ are born into eternity through Him, then all who die in Christ will be together in eternity.
Also, I've found a big hug tends to be as effective as properly quoted Scripture in this regards.

you don't need scripture to tell you you'll see your family. As a matter of fact we should all just live life like we will go on and see our family, I mean, why torture ourselves? Our loved ones are in a better place when they die. point blank. be happy for them.

"I, if I be lifted up, will lift all men unto Me."
Seems to say that since all but those who refuse to go with Him are gonna be with Him, that it means our loved ones will be there too. Probably partying hearty and havin' a grand ol' time, which will be even grander when we join them.

I think an eternity is long enough for us to bump into each other sometime. :)
