There is hope. There is great comfort from reading Jehovah promise found in the Bible at Acts 24 15 which says and I have hope toward God, which hope these men themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and unrighteous. Of course we all will still have sad moments becasue of the loss of Martha. But knowing what the Bible really teaches and the hope of a resurrection makes me feel beter. How thankful we all should be to Jehovah the true God of comfort. Matthew 21 16 2 Corinthians 1 3,4
