My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. Reading the bible has helped me cope with loss. One bible scripture that brings me much comfort is that found at Revelation 21:4 as it says 'God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither mourning nor outcry nor pain. The former things have passed away.' May not only the beautiful memories but also Jehovah God bring you comfort and strength to cope with the loss of John.
