I wanted to send my heartfelt sympathy and share the beautiful hope the Bible provides that brings me much comfort. John 5:28,29 promises that all those in the memorial tombs will come out. This resurrection will occur under the wonderful conditions described at Psalms 37:11, “But the meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.” I’m deeply sorry for your loss and I hope these scriptures bring a measure of comfort during your difficult time.
