Time and again, in explaining how they have coped with their grief, faithful Christians have said: "Let me tell you my favorite Bible text." If you are grieving, maybe some of these scriptures will also help you.
"Blessed be . . . the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation."—2 Corinthians 1:3, 4.
"You are opening your hand and satisfying the desire of every living thing."—Psalm 145:16.
"He [God] has set a day in which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and he has furnished a guarantee to all men in that he has resurrected him from the dead."—Acts 17:31.
"I—I myself am the One that is comforting you people."—Isaiah 51:12.
"Like a man whom his own mother keeps comforting, so I myself shall keep comforting you people."—Isaiah 66:13.
"This is my comfort in my affliction, for your own saying has preserved me alive. I have remembered your judicial decisions from time indefinite, O Jehovah, and I find comfort for myself. May your loving-kindness serve, please, to comfort me, according to your saying to your servant."—Psalm 119:50, 52, 76.
"The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life."—John 5:28, 29.

KT, I am very sorry for your loss. I recall when my grandfather died, I was deeply moved. Now I am a grandfather and I still remember. Take comfort in the fact that there is a next life and you will join him there someday.

Always know that the Lord is there for you, and He cares. I also care! You are my sis in Christ, and I am greiving with you. But not like ones who have no hope, because we have hope in Him. I will pray for you and your family that God will give you the strength to get through this. He does not allow testing to us beyond what we can bear. Remember:
When we are weak, He is strong.
Much love in Christ
Rachel

when we are born those around us smile laugh and have joy and we cry!
When we die we experience the Joy of being with God and those around us cry.
May the God of all peace comfort your heart ! God bless you!
