Here's the best I've come up with about recovering from the death of somebody we love. It goes like this. When we're little, maybe one or so, we learn how to walk.

I won't lie to you. I can't say why God would take her now. But if the fact that she was sent here among us doesn't point toward a loving God, then I can't help you.
