Do we know HaShem’s plan any time?!?
Sometimes we have Gedolim to interpret happenings correctly, HaShem gives His Closest divine inspiration to correctly come to a defining conclusion. Other times it is not so clear. Us ba’alei (ba’alos) batim, ever the more less. We have, however, seforim and an abundance of sources that deal with and discuss all issues. Including this.
He may (again MAY) have been a Korbon, used to inspire others to reflect, to do tshuva, or as a ????. The more closeness, the more pain and anguish felt, the more taken into account. ???? ???? ????, every far-reaching minute consequence included into the judgement.
We do not know. In the initial stages we stand back at a respectful and awed distance and humbly say the bracha ???? ????, we are ????? by any means in the family’s pain, and try, as hard as it is, to offer any substantial words of encouragement.
