Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? John 11:25-26
In every Believer's life (and non-Believers') something dies. But death is not the end. Death is only the beginning. Unless we die, we will never experience God's glory!!
Do not let the loss of people, nor things, discourage you. God is up to something.
God wants to perfect that which concerns you. Be still and know that He is God!!
