A Reliable Source of Guidance

During a period of mourning, your child will look to you for direction, support, and answers. Where, then, can you find a reliable source of comfort and hope.  It provides  definitive information on the origin of death, the condition of the dead, and the hope for the dead.  The plain truth that "the dead . . .are conscious of nothing at all" should help your child to realize that is deceased loved one is not suffering.  (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Moreover, in the Bible, God extends the hope that we will see our dead loved ones again on a paradise earth. -John 5:28, 29; 2 Timothy 3:15.
