[BibChr]

As one who has lost not one, but TWO beloved parents, the state of whose souls is hopeful but not certain, I say to you:

It's perfectly Christian for you to mourn and miss your godly father/grandfather, and you just go ahead and mourn him all you need; and

Never underestimate what a wonderful balm it is to your soul that you know that your loved one's Redeemer lives, that He has conquered sin and death, and that your father/grandfather wouldn't leave His presence now for all the riches in the universe.

Dan

[A.J.Armitage]

Never underestimate what a wonderful balm it is to your soul that you know that your loved one's Redeemer lives, that He has conquered sin and death, and that your father/grandfather wouldn't leave His presence now for all the riches in the universe.

That's because he already has all the riches in the universe.
