I am so very sorry for your loss of Jim, even though I didn’t get to know him personally. Losing a dear loved one in death can be very distressing to go through. But the Bible can be of great comfort to us during these times. At Acts 24:15 it says,”There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteousness and the unrighteous.” Very soon our loved ones will be resurrected and we will see them again!
