may God grant you the peace and strength to get through this loss. Pray is the answer. I share your loss in prayer
I want to offer my condolences to the Ancrum family. It is a painful thing to lose a love one in death, regardless of how long they have lived. Take comfort in knowing that our Heavenly Father knows your pain and has promised to get rid of this enemy, death, at Isaiah 25:8 “he will swallow up death forever. And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces.” He promise to awaken our love ones in the memorial tombs from asleep in death. Notice how this is beautifully expressed at Isaiah 26:19 “Your dead will rise ...Awake and shout joyfully you residents in the dust! ...the earth will let those powerless in death come to life.” Exquisite joy it will be to see our love ones again! I hope these words give you all comfort.
"Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God. I will fortify you, yes, I will help you. I will really hold on to you with My Right Hand of Righteousness." Isaiah 41:10
