I would like to share my condolences for your lost. Its hard to lose love ones in death. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 says "For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again,+ so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus".
God gives us hope that we will see our loved ones when they rise from the thumbs. I hope this can give you hope to go on with such hard lost.
