I am so sorry to hear about your loss.
From my own personal experiences what brought me comfort was finding out that God is the creator and source of life and therefore he is capable and promises to restore life to those that have passed away. He would never cause you pain by taking tour loves one away (pslams 36:9, Acts 17:25). God has resurrected humans in the past and yearns to do so in the future. He hates death and views it as the enemy and he will conquer the enemy and undo death by means of the resurrection. (1 corinthians 15:26, 1 Corinthians 15:56, Job 14:15, Acts 25:15) and Revelation 21:3,4)
Because I have lost so many friends and family in death, learning the truth as to why we die and where my dead loved ones are and whats in stored for them in the future has brought me comfort. My freedom from fear of death and has given me hope that I will be reunited with them.
I sincerely hope this note brings you comfort. If you don't have a bible and would like to see gods promises yourself you can read these scriptures online at www.jw.org.
