Life plays hardball

Sometimes life doesn't make sense. Or should I say death. This morning my DH got word that the 23 year old son of a close friend was killed in a freak accident. He and a couple of buddies were up in the mountains pushing over trees and a 'snag' or what we in fire service call a 'widow maker' fell and killed him instantly. Who is rolling the dice up there? A vibrant light was snuffed out. Why? Can anyone give me an answer? Who does one beseech in times like this? God? Allah? Jesus? The All Encompassing Love Spirit? My youngest is the same age as this young man. I can not begin to imagine a world with out her in it. How will this young man's parents cope? Does time heal? Does God hear us? Is there a God that would let this happen? Is it all a cosmic joke? Some one, please tell me.

I just think that these things happen and there is no reason why it can't be to us, or someone we know...I was really angry at God for a long time after I lost my right eye. Years later I realised I was actually quite lucky in that I may have lost an eye but the tumor didn't spread and I still had one good eye and my life. I don't think God comes into this at all. It is just the roller coaster of life...

I feel so sorry for your friend's parents - no parent should have to bury a child. Cruel things happen...
