After God removes wickedness and suffering, the earth will be transformed into a paradise. Then people will be able to live forever in perfect health and happiness. God's Word foretells: ?[God] will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.?—Revelation 21:4. In that new world, even dead ones will be brought back to life to share in those blessings: ?There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.? (Acts 24:15) That is why Jesus Christ could tell a repentant evildoer who expressed faith in him: ?You will be with me in Paradise.?—Luke 23:43. I hope these thoughts provide some comfort during this difficult time.
