Dear Santello family, I am so sorry for your loss. Unfortunately I too know how it is to lose a family member in death. I also know that at first it may seem that there is little hope but I have found some of the promises in the Bible to be a comfort in distressing times such as the promise we have in the twenty-fifth chapter of the book of Isaiah where we learn that God, “will actually swallow up death forever and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah [God] will certainly wipe the tears from all faces.� (Verse 8) Such promises always help me to see that God does care about each of us and since He, like a loving parent, hates to see us cry he soon plans on getting rid of tragedies that we now have to face. There are so many more promises in the Bible that can encourage us both now and in the future, but I hope this brief scripture helped you as much as it does me.
