“Others Truly Mourn for the Loss of Their Kindred”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

To those of our day, the Lord has given what has properly been called the law of the mourner. It is stated thus:

“Thou shalt live together in love, insomuch that thou shalt weep for the loss of them that die, and more especially for those that have not hope of a glorious resurrection. And it shall come to pass that those that die in me shall not taste of death, for it shall be sweet unto them; and they that die not in me, wo unto them, for their death is bitter.” (D&C 42:45-47.)
