Sorry to hear of your loss;
God's plan was to have humans live forever on earth. When Satan stepped in and threw a monkey wrench into it. But thanks to Jesus Christ who died to save us from sin and death. In the future Jesus will resurrect those in the grave and give them an opportunity to live forever.
