I am deeply sorry for your loss. I'm reaching out with some encouragement as I too have lost many loved ones in death. One thing that has helped me to cope many times is a promise made by Jesus Christ. He talked about a resurrection of the dead in a Paradise Earth where all of us will see our loved ones again! Jesus promises in John 5:28, 29: “All those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.”
Another comforting promise in the Bible is found at Psalms 37:10,11. My Grandfather, who was also a WWII veteran, looked forward to its fulfillment very much. It speaks of world conditions under God’s Kingdom rule. It says: “The wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there. But the meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.” I hope these verses comfort you as they have comforted me. My heart and prayers go out to you.
Below is a link to a very encouraging Scripture-based brochure entitled, When Someone You Love Dies.
