Please accept my deepest sympathy on your loss of dear Eileen. I lost my dear aunt recently, maybe like me, there is a an empty space in your life. Comfort sometimes can be difficult to find, However, I have personally found comfort in the words of Hosea 13:14 which says “From the power of the Grave I will redeem them; From death I will recover them. Where are your stings, O Death? Where is your destructiveness, O Grave? ...” How I long for a time when death will no longer sting us and no doubt you may feel the same. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 describes Jehovah as “the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort who comforts us in all our trials...” I hope you can find the peace of mind that these words gave me as you look forward to the resurrection of Eileen. There was also a brochure “When Someone You Love Dies” that answers many questions you may have. Please check jw.org and and you can get many more questions answered. It also helped me to cope with my grief.
