Dear Elizabeth's family, I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that God knows what your going through , for he too felt the pain of seeing he's dear Son Jesus die. However, he endured this great pain because, "he loved the world so much, that he wanted to give us the the hope of one day living forever again." (John 3:16) He promises to one day soon , do away with death and we will never have to go through the pain this causes. ( Rev 21:4) When this happens we will live as God intended (Psalm 37:29) .May these scriptures bring you comfort..and hope of embracing your dear loved one again (John 5:28,29 & 11:21-26)

Mary
