Have you lost a loved one in death? The pain, the grief, and the feelings of helplessness can seem unbearable. At such times, we need to go to God’s Word for comfort. (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4) The Bible helps us to understand how Jehovah and Jesus feel about death. Jesus, who perfectly reflected his Father, knew the pain of losing someone in death. (John 14:9) When he was in Jerusalem, Jesus used to visit Lazarus and his sisters, Mary and Martha, who lived in the nearby town of Bethany. They became close friends. The Bible says: “Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.” (John 11:5) As we learned in the preceding chapter, though, Lazarus died.
How did Jesus feel about losing his friend? The account tells us that Jesus joined Lazarus’ relatives and friends as they grieved over this loss. Seeing them, Jesus was deeply moved. He “groaned in the spirit and became troubled.” Then, the account says, “Jesus gave way to tears.” (John 11:33, 35) Did Jesus’ grief mean that he had no hope? Not at all. In fact, Jesus knew that something wonderful was about to happen. (John 11:3, 4) Still, he felt the pain and sorrow that death brings.
In a way, Jesus’ grief is encouraging to us. It teaches us that Jesus and his Father, Jehovah, hate death. But Jehovah God is able to fight and overcome that enemy! Let us see what God enabled Jesus to do.

Hello Isela
I have been thinking about you since your B-day, I look at the night stars and swear I see your eyes sparkling. I wish for your family and all those that had the gift of knowing loving you peace and happiness. It is said that Time heals all wounds, I personally think that wounds just heal with time but are never completely gone, but knowing you, I am sure you would not want any one of us to be sad. For you were the Light that always shined with
LIFE is to be LIVED,
The WORLD is to be EXPLORED and
DREAMS are to be made REAL.
Thank you beautiful Angel for what you shared with us all.
See you in the Ray of Sun, the drops of Rain, and Stars at Night.
God Bless you today and forever more.

Hi pretty girl,
It's with tears in my eyes that I write this. What a tremedous privilege it was to have known you for the short time that I did. We used to spend hours discussing profound and painful issues including the loss of our loved ones. I know there was no one who appreciated the frailty and bitter beauty of life more than you. Your spirt and magic live on in the hearts of all those who were fortunate enough to have called you a friend. Thank you for coming into my life when you did.
Love, "Mister"

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness,
a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch,
we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say goodbye, but little
by little, we begin to remember not just that you have passed, but that you lived. And that your life gave memories too beautiful to forget.
~Love, Hugs & Kisses~
