Dealing with Death: Sunday Will Come | Hope Works

Jennie knows the tormenting pain of personal tragedy. Three deaths left her wondering each time how she would ever survive—her father, who took his own life when she was young; her 15-year-old brother-in-law, who laughed and played with the family on Saturday night, then committed suicide the next day; and her husband, who died exactly seven years later in military combat in the Middle East. When she received news of her husband’s death, she wondered how she would raise her seven children. It was grief beyond belief. The darkness of the night enveloped everything. “Tell me this nightmare will end,” she thought. During these times of great grief, three words kept coming to her mind: “Sunday will come.” They were words from a general conference talk she’d heard years earlier. She knew it was not just any Sunday, but Easter Sunday—the Sunday of the Resurrection, the Sunday of hope.
