Please accept my heartfelt condolences. God (Psalms 83:18) is the Creator of life. The Bible calls Jehovah God “the source of life.” (Psalm 36:9; Acts 17:24, 25) The One who gave life to all living creatures is certainly capable of restoring life to someone who has died. He has resurrected humans in the past through his son Jesus Christ and he is eager to do it again. John 11:29-44; 1 Corinthians 15:26
I am so sorry for your loss. May the blessings of love from Jehovah God and his son Jesus Christ be upon you, May his peace abide with you, May his essence illuminate your heart, Now and forever more… The “Most High” God ( Psalms 83:18) and his inspired word the Bible can be a source of strength and comfort during this heartbreaking time because he loves you. John 3:16; 1John 4:8; and John 17:3.
