About an hour ago my sisters best friend died of a long battle with leukemia. My sister was with her when she died and she is completely devistated as is the rest of my family. My sister came home crying and saying that we’ve been prayer for her for years to recover and nothing happened and now she’s dead and all anybody has to say is God works in mysterious ways. I myself am trying to wrap my head around what has just happened. My question is, without making my sister mad or trying to make her upset, how can I just explain to her that God loves her friend and loves her. My sister is very sensitive towards religion and doesn’t pray. But please, any advice on how to handle this situation would be greatly appreciated. And also if you could remember her friend in your prayers.

You can perhaps explain that every person’s life has to end. That we are not going to live here in this world forever. We were made for something greater than this by God our father. You can explain that it was time for her friend to move from this world to the next. It is not our place to decide. The grief we feel is normal because we won’t see our friend till we too have left this world. But we will see her again. So this can bring us happiness in this time of sadness.

For now, we must pray to God to have mercy on her soul and do everything we can for her family. Pray for her family as well.
 
My sincerely condolences to you and everyone who loved your friend. Time and patience are your friends right now, God will take care of you. Pray hard and constantly, you will find that is the only way forward right now.

Death and sickness is a result of sin. Why do bad things happen to good people? Because of sin. We live in a fallen world.

May God remember her in his kingdom.
