I rather like these quotes. Somehow they do feel comforting and I have found at the end of grief, comes the knowing of happiness and peace again. I found that "weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning", knowing my loved one is safe in the arms of Jesus, hurting no more. Psalm 30:5 In grief, I know I can also be happy my loved one suffers no more, was released from pain, and now experiences joy beyond compare. I thank Jesus for that.
