My condolences to the Flagg family and friends. The bible assures us at Psalm 34:18 "Jehovah God is near to those that are broken at heart, and those who are crushed in spirit he saved. More than anything else, a good relationship with God can help us cope with the death of our love ones. Please visit JW.ORG to learn more about the love Jehovah has for us for the near future. Agape

We're so sorry to hear you lost a dear loved one. It is very comforting to read the Bible in these difficult moments. I personally like Psalms 9:9 which reads: “Jehovah will become a secure refuge for the oppressed, A secure refuge in times of distress.” Our loving God cares about us and is ready to bring us comfort if we allow him (1John 5:14). Jehovah our God also has made the provision of a resurrection RIGHT HERE ON EARTH when it is restored into a beautiful paradise (Acts 24:15; Isaiah 55:11). Close your eyes and imagine yourself welcoming back to life your dear loved one? Find out more about this resurrection online at jw.org ~ R&R Lopez
