So sad to hear of your loss of such a young girl. I simply cannot imagine the waves of emotion you must be having, from sorrow, to anger, and back again. Please be assured that God knows what you are going through and he promises to help you. Isa. 41:10,13 likens God's caring to holding our hand, and how comforting it can be when we are going through extreme distress to have a loved and trusted friend grasp us by the hand and tell us that everything is going to be ok. God cares about our each and every tear that falls,so much that it is as if he were catching each one and treasuring it. (Ps. 56:8) May God grant you understanding, and comfort in this trying time, and may you feel his loving care as you sort out your feelings, and try to come to grips with this tragedy. My sincerest sympathy to each and every one of you.
