I am sorry to read about the loss of your loved one. Death is the most painful experience a family will endure. In the book of John chapter 11....Jesus at the time of Lazarus death groaned in the spirit and gave way to weeping when he received the news of his friends death. Jesus knew he was going to resurrect Lazarus but he still felt the pain and sorrow as evident among Lazarus' family and friends. Death, mourning, out cry and pain are the things that rob us of our joy which God is going to do away with very soon (Revelation 21:3&4).
