Proverbs 16:31 relates: “Gray headedness is a crown of beauty when it is found in the way of righteousness.” When loved ones die, family and friends are sad regardless of the long life they enjoyed. Our Heavenly Father, Jehovah, invites the bereaved to “throw your anxiety upon him because He cares for you.” He further promises at Matthew 5:4, “Happy are they that mourn, since they will be comforted.”
