Sending my sincere condolences for the loss of your baby boy, Brantley. Losing a child is heartbreaking, and no one understands the pain you are experiencing unless they have experienced the same thing, too. I know this because my oldest son, Sonny Jack, passed away with an epileptic seizure in his sleep, nine years ago the 26th. of this month. He was only 28 years old. I’ve never experienced such pain in my life, and I know you are feeling the same way, too. After begging God every day for help to get through each day, slowly one day at a time God gave me the strength to cope. There was one scripture found at Isaiah 41:10, 13 where it shows the love God has for us. Verse 10 says, “Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God. I will fortify you, yes, I will help you, I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness.” Then verse 13 continues, “For I, Jehovah your God, am grasping your right hand, The One saying to you, ‘Do not be afraid. I will help you.” Our loving heavenly Father promises to help you through this difficult time. That does not mean he will take the pain away, but he will help you cope, one second, one minute, one day at a time. This beautiful scripture was a lifeline for me, and I hope they will bring you a measure of hope, too.

Our deepest sympathy to your family. Please find comfort in knowing that God does not ‘take’ children away from loving parents to be with Him in heaven. Job 34:12 says, ‘for a certainty, God does not act wickedly.’ He knows how deeply you are hurting right now & promises to get rid of all sickness & death & the grief it causes. Isaiah 25:8. Until then, find comfort in His promise to reunite you with Brantley in the coming resurrection. Acts 24:15

I am so sorry to hear of your son's passing. It rips my heart out when parents lose their children and especially at such young ages. Please be comforted at this time knowing God is holding him in his arms until you can be with him to hold him in yours again. My deepest condolences and prayers for everyone touched by this young boys smile, voice, heart, or his presence.

To the family and friends,
I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one.
After God cleans off the earth of all the wicked people, then he will bring our loved ones back to life. At that time there will be no more sickness, old age or death. Please read Psalm 37:9-11, 29 and Isaiah 33:24. Revelation 21:4 says: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."
If you would like a free Bible study to bring you comfort, you may ask any one of Jehovah's Witnesses to make arrangements.
