My deepest condolences to the family on the loss of your loved one. May you find comfort reading the words found at Revelation 21:3-4. And when that prophecy is fulfilled, never again will we have to suffer the loss of our loved ones in death. So may the Father of tender mercies and God of all comfort give you peace at this difficult time.
