We all live in a family where everyone is related to one another. God has blessed us with a family, where we can enjoy life by conversing and exchanging ideas. However, there are occasions when death separates us from our loved ones, and we are devastated.
It’s wonderful news that we see them again. To manage our emotions, we must constantly remind ourselves that we are only passing through this planet and that one day, we will all meet and move to a new place together.
We all have to know that we have to depart this earth after a certain number of days. However, we will be able to recognize ourselves when we get to heaven. If we are conscious of this reality, we won’t feel the agony of losing loved ones as intensely.
Even if the loss of our loved ones hurts us, we must reassure ourselves that we will see them again a few days from now.
Let’s look at the Bible scriptures that follow to discover how to overcome these feelings.
