Thank you for all your kind words xx

Dear Emma, I'm sorry to read of the tragic loss of your beloved sister Leisa, and I want to offer my heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. I hope you won't be offended that I'm writing, since I don't know you; but I'm hoping that you will find some comfort in these verses. Acts 24:15 promises, "that there is going to be a resurrection." Many tragic, unexpected deaths are due to what the Bible calls, "time and unforeseen occurrence that befall them all." - Ecclesiastes 9:11b Our loving God doesn’t cause sad things to happen to our loved ones, as James 1:13 helps us to understand, ‘When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.’ For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone.’” 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4 speaks of God as “the God of all comfort who comforts us in all our tribulation.” 1 Peter 5:7 lets us know that we can “throw all our anxiety upon (God), because he cares.” And Isaiah 65:17b tells us that the former things will not be called to mind, neither will they come up into the heart.” - Thus the heartbreak that we experience now, won’t even be remembered after Jehovah God resurrects our loved ones; thereby undoing the sad effects of death and the pain being separated from them brings. Revelation 21:4 promises, “And (God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” - Just imagine -a world with no tears of sorrow, no pain, and no death! And no sickness of any kind as Isaiah 33:24 promises, “no resident will say: ‘I am sick.’" Loved ones will be resurrected, and welcomed back to life by loving family and friends right here on the earth in the midst of peaceful, beautiful, paradise conditions, as Psalms 37:10, 11, 29 tell about, “And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; and you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” - We can have the opportunity to live together forever in perfect peace, health, and happiness with our loved ones! Jesus taught his followers to pray: “Our Father in the heavens, . . . Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.” - Matthew 6:9, 10 - When God’s Kingdom comes, there will be no more death on the earth, just as there is no death in heaven! I hope that you are finding comfort in your memories, perhaps by looking at pictures. And I hope that these and other verses will bring you comfort, peace, and hope. Romans 15:4 tells us, "For all the things that were written aforetime were written for our instruction, that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope. The family of a suicide victim may take comfort in knowing that "Jehovah God has shown mercy to those fearing him. For he himself well knows the formation of us, remembering that we are dust." - Psalms 103:10-14 Only God can fully understand the role of mental sickness, extreme stress, even genetic defects, in a "suicidal crisis," which, the National Observer noted, "is not a lifetime characteristic (but) often a matter only of minutes or of hours." - Ecclesiastes 7:7 tells us, "For mere oppression may make a wise one act crazy." - God alone searches 'all hearts and every inclination of the thoughts.' - 1 Chronicles 28:9 But we may be confident that 'the Judge of all the earth is going to do what is loving, just, and right!' - Genesis 18:25 Thus you can be assured that you can safely entrust the future prospects of your precious, beloved sister Leisa to Jehovah, the "Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort." - 2 Corinthians 1:3 Will you please look at the web site, www.jw.org and if you do decide to go there; near the top please click on 'publications', then please look to the left and scroll down under featured items and click on 'online library' and then please type 'suicide' in and click on search and articles will come up that may offer more information and comfort to you. When you click on 'publications' on the page that comes up; if you look in the second row; there's a small tract, 'Can the dead really live again?' If you either click on the words or the box to the left underneath and then PDF format you can read this. Take care, And I truly hope that you will find some comfort and true hope for the future. Sincerely Yours, Cindy Boyer
