I am truly sorry for your loss. However, John 5:25 says the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who have paid attention will live. Those who have died and are in Gods memory will be resurrected to a restored earth and have a hope of everlasting life. (Psalm 37:11, 29) I hope this brings you peace.
