    I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Recently I lost my dear mother, and and found great comfort in the Holy Bible, like at Isaiah 25 verse 8 - "The Sovereign Lord will swallow up death forever, and wipe away the tears from all faces." Also at Revelation 21 verse 4, we find the promise that God will remove both pain and death. For more comfort, I turn to the website at: www.jw.org "Search: Comfort)
