Being a Christian does not mean we are immune to being sad.
When feelings of darkness and finality surround us due to the loss of a loved one, we can find the love of Jesus Christ through reading His words, and through these words, Jesus gives us the gift of peace that only He can give.
We must learn to thank God for the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ and for showing us that when we know Him we find the gifts of peace, comfort, hope and joy that only He can bring into our world
John 14:27
Peace is my parting gift to you, my own peace, such as the world cannot give. Set your troubled hearts at rest, and banish your fears.
