My deepest sympathy to the friends and family of Mr Robert. When we lose our love ones in death, it is very painful. We will never get used to that pain. The reason is because we were created with everlasting life in view. (Ecclesiastes 3: 11) Therefore, Almighty God have promise that he will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more. (Revelation 21: 3, 4) To learn more, please visit jw.org and view the faith strengthening Video: What is the condition of the Dead.
