To the family of Ms. Ruth Wolf:
I would like to express my condolences to you for the loss of your mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. No one is ever totally prepared for the death of a loved one. Even if they lived a long and enjoyable life. And during this time grief can be intense. But you can express your grief in healthy ways. Talking about your feelings with a trusted friend can bring a measure of relief. So pour out your feelings to the God who promises to comfort our hearts. Psalm 55:22 assures us to 'throw our burdens on Jehovah God and he will help you'. Also writing can be helpful in expressing grief. And reading about the resurrection hope in Jehovah God's Word, the Bible, can be a real source of comfort. At John 5:28,29, Jesus promised that he will resurrect untold numbers of people to life here on earth-but under peaceful and righteous conditions. Imagine the joy when Ms. Wolf comes back to life with the prospect of regaining her youthful vigor, and her flesh will become and remain fresher than in her youth.
