Sympathies and condolences to All bereaved by the passing of Maria Bernadette James.
God indeed feels your pain at this time. Only He can truly heal us by prayer, His spirit and His word. Psalm 94:19. He intends to bring death to end and have a resurrection in the future. So there's a possibility of seeing Maria again! John 5:28-9.
To facilitate the return of persons, God had sent his son to demonstrate how it will be done. John 11:39-44. Jesus' death facilitates forgiveness of sin as well. So living forever is also possible by that arrangement of God. If you wish to expand your knowledge on any of these topics, please consider these videos:
