I wish I had some type of religious faith as well. The prospect of going to a 'better' place might be comforting. The reality is that unfair situations like this have most of my friends of faith scratching their head. They still believe in God, but they have no explanation for why something like this should happen.

I realize that my question is rhetorical, that there is no way to ease the anguish these people are going through. Death is the one thing that we must all face alone. I can't imagine trying to rationalize this at 24 years of age. I don't want this to happen, but I am powerless over this injustice.

This family is blessed to have had their son for the time they have, but that just doesn't seem comforting right now.
