I am sorry to read of your loss During this tragic time looking to the Bible can offer you comfort and hope At John 5 28 29 it says that all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out This is the resurrection hope of when we will see our loved ones again At this time we will look forwad to Revelation 21 4 being fulfilled where it says that death will be no more Until then Jesus told us at John 11 11-14 that death is like being asleep I hope this gives you comfort knowing that she is asleep in death awaiting the resurrection
