The pain, the grief, and the feelings of helplessness can seem unbearable. At such times, we need to go to God's Word for comfort. (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4) What has bought me hope is knowing in the near future God promises to vanquish all our problems, and finally passing sentence on mankind's greatest foe, "As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing."--1 Corinthians 15:26. Meanwhile, we can take comfort in knowing that our dead loved ones are resting, and if they are in God's memory, they will be resurrected in his due time (John 5:28-29). Yes, we can confidently look to the future when Jehovah God, the Giver of life, will bury death forever.
