My condolence to the De Sousa family. Loosing a love one in death is never easy it is the most devastating experience a human can face. The lost can seem unbearable but I just want to share with you what has help me and my family cope with our loss. Remembering the words of Jesus and what he did. Jesus cured every sort of disease and every sort of infirmity ( Matthew 9:35 ) but in the paradise new world mankind flesh will have become fresher than in youth ( Job 33:25 ) resurrected humans will have returned with sound bodies. Thus the heart break that we experience now won't be remembered after our loving God resurrects our loved ones, undoing the sad effects of death that we all experience at some point in our lives. My condolences.
