observanteen, firstly, as ayc said, it is so nice of you to accept upon yourself to do something for someone else’s sake. We should all be like you. Secondly, also as ayc said, in order for us to get past tragedies like these we must realize and take to heart that G-d does only good, He is in full control, and everything that happens we must accept as G-d’s will. Once we can do that, things will be less burdensome for us. Of course, it is almost impossible to take our emotions out of the picture, but we must reassure ourselves and be confident that G-d always does what’s best. It’s times like these when we are tested to truly see if we have unshakable faith and confidence in G-d’s ways, and if we can make it through, and even learn and gain from these experiences, terrible though they may be, we will have become truly great and will have done all that G-d can ask of us. Perhaps when we are on that level, G-d hopefully won’t need to “test” us in our faith in Him through such tragedies, but rather through what we can openly see as blessing.
