A strong belief in a loving God brings comfortThe Bible says at Psalm 34:15: “The eyes of Jehovah are on the righteous, and his ears listen to their cry for help.” Expressing our feelings in prayer to God is more than good therapy or a means of organizing our thoughts. It actually helps us to establish a personal relationship with our Creator, who can use his power to comfort us.
A better future to look forward toImagine a time in the future when those in the grave will be brought back to life here on earth! The Bible repeatedly speaks of such a time John 5:28. Describing what conditions on earth will then be like, the Bible states that God “will wipe out every tear from [our] eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.”—Revelation 21:3, 4.
“The Bible assures us that our dead loved ones are not suffering and that God will resurrect all who are in his memory”
