My deep condolences to the Antous family: Although, we have never met I have lost loved ones to the pain of death. And I would like to share what helped me during those most difficult times. It wasn't just being around family & friends. But the hope & encouragement you get from the gift that the Most High God gave to each & everyone of us, yes that is His written word the Bible (Psalms 83:18 & 2Timothy 3:16). Please, notice how God's precious son Jesus viewed death in such a gentle way. At John 11:11-14 yes he viewed death as one sleeping. And God gives us the assurance that there will be a resurrection of loved ones from the sting of death (John 5:28, 29). And He even says where they are are & where they will be (Daniel 12:2 & Psalms 37:11). May you look forward to God's promises being fulfilled (Titus 1:2). I hope these few Scriptures were of some comfort. Please feel free to contact me or visit jw.org for more words of encouragement. Our daughter fell asleep in death and recently my precious husband of 50 years fell asleep in death also. I truly understand. With deep sympathy, Roz Email: rozjuc@gmail.com

My sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. Be assured that the almighty God truly cares for the family! May you find comfort in the promise that "... there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous" (Acts 24:15), and very soon "... no resident will say, 'I am sick'" (Isa. 33:24) because "... death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”(Rev. 21:4) How is this possible? Visit JW. ORG and search for 'Why did Jesus die?'. Then watch the video.

My deepest sympathies to the family and friends. May you have comfort knowing that our heavenly Father is a God of comfort and knows the pain you feel at this time. Through the blood of his son (Jesus Christ)he has given you the hope of seeing your loved one again in the promised resurrection at John 5:28,29.
